Hi all,
while the linked issue has been resolved, the limitation is still in
place — the `pkcon -d update` against recent full rebuild produces
following output:
$ pkcon -d update

Fatal error: Too many packages to process (5530/5200)
Can we address it by applying an
https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/commit/ff0181389dc281effbd274f6e1ae01e...
one-liner from upstream?
I'll don't have time to make a request myself at the moment, but maybe
someone else has.
Thank you in advance.

: I'm not sure, if this is bug or feature... After few days, update applet (TW, KDE) says there are 6843 new updates (TeX, R, ... ;-). When I click to "Install updates" error "Too many packages to process (6843/5200)" appears. Zypper handles it well. Is it worth of bug report? To b.o.o?
Since Tumbleweed must be updated with 'zypper dup', and these graphical frontends do not do the equivalent of a 'zypper dup', there is nothing to worry about.
Consequently, PackageKit and it's clients should be banned from TW repositories.
Rather these clients should utilize available information which command to use during update. zypper knows that "dup" is preferred over "up" and displays warning; so these clients could use the same information and chose "dup" automatically.

Looking for people to contirbute code - it's not that the idea has not been thought of yet
Cheers Dominique
