I am uping the severity of this bug. Sorry to get dramatic about it, but there has been no comment or acknoweledgement of this bug, since December 3. I'm assuming the worst.
Sorry, but I don't see how this is "Major". The update applet doesn't know which text to display because of changes in PackageKit-Qt. But that's only cosmetical. Also, please don't touch the "Priority" field, unless you want to assign the bug to yourself. This field is for the developers/maintainers only, to prioritize the bugs they are working on. I'm confirming the bug now though, I hope that makes you feel better... ;)
When your root privileged software installer is telling you *I am in an Unknown State with an Unknown Role*, you should be concerned. If only Me and the OP are experiencing this than maybe our machines have been compromised.
Apper or the update applet are not "root privileged" at all. If that status messages disturb you, disable the "Software Updater" applet in the system tray settings, and only use Apper (the application, which shows the correct status messages btw) or YaST/zypper to update your system. You might also want to file a bug report at bugs.kde.org. This is in no way an openSUSE-specific issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
