[opensuse-factory] PackageKit blocking Yast
In OS 12.2-RC2 (build 0091-DVD) in 'Yast > Software Management > Search', PackageKit is blocking the repositories from loading. I've worked around this by killing the PackageKit process, then the repos load properly. Has anyone else seen this happen? Is it a bug or expected behavior?

Oh Yes! As I update often I consigned /usr/lib/packagekitd to the trash until next time an update puts it back and I have to remove it again. Sometimes after multiple tries it will let you in, but mostly it won't go away. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

What would happen if you renamed the above file - as I just did - to packagektd.pita but also LOCKED packagekit in YaST so that it was never updated?

I have it locked as nothing seems to depend on it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

This is nothing new... it's been happening on multiple releases of openSUSE. You can wait for it to finish doing whatever it is doing... or kill it. My experience is that this collision only seems to happen immediately after a new install of openSUSE... and after the fresh install has "aged" a while (minutes to a couple of hours) it usually stops happening, and I rarely ever see it again... although if I restart a system it will pop up again if I start trying to install software immediately after booting. Is it a bug... I'd call it a bug. Other people consider it a bug... and have opened bug reports on it.. for example: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731450 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692550 among many. No solutions though that I've seen.

This one is in state needinfo since 2011-11-22 18:50:29 CET. I suggest to close it with the reason requested information not provided.
This is defect report for openSUSE 11.4 and should be moved to 12.1 by the reporter if it is still the same there. Jeff Mahoney did this recently with many Linux kernel defects reported for older openSUSE versions which no longer get feeded by updates. @Thomas and Vincent: Please consider to handle 692550 the same way.

It's unclear if the bug is caused by kpackagekit doing some weird stuff all the time, or if it's simply a duplicate of bug 692550, of if it's something else. In the first two cases, this shouldn't be moved to 12.1. I asked the reporter to see if he still sees this.

PackagKitd is a service and as such does not die immediately after it was used by another program, e.g. the update notifier of your desktop environment. So if it stays around forever or is re-spawn with a new PID over and over again that's a bug. It staying around for a minute or two after it finished checking the repos, not sure what time-out is set, is normal.

The default timeout is 15 seconds (ShutdownTimeout in the [Daemon] group in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf).
