http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989563 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989563#c5 --- Comment #5 from Raymond Wooninck --- Actually both Apper and Plasma-pk-updates are using the same backend (Packagekit). The actual issue of the more frequent checking is actually caused by the way that openSUSE handles PackageKit. PackageKit has been designed based that it is always running. However this caused on openSUSE an issue with libzypp and it was decided that PackagaeKit is stopped after being idle for a very short time. Plasma-pk-updates was changed upstream and now it follows correctly the setting if it should check daily, weekly, monthly and it no longer starts PackageKit every hour. So it would be safe to switch to Plasma-pk-updates as that this one works better regarding updates than Apper ever did. I also wiped the Apper binaries for those oS versions that has plasma-pk-updates, as that it is a clear recommendation to use the plasma-pk-updates package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
