You have been subscribed to a public bug by Rik Mills (rikmills):

Bionic: 18.04
Version: 1.1.9-1ubuntu2 upgrading itself to 1.1.9-1ubuntu2.18.04.1

Updating with pkcon upgrade or plasma-discover crashes packagekit mid
transaction, requiring user intervention on the command line.

In plasma-discover the gui reports the crash briefly, but then stalls in
apparent mid update, requiring the user to force close it and again
resolve the issue on the command line.

Example transactions:

$ pkcon update

We need a crash dump to be able to investigate this. Apport can probably
help you with apport-collect 1790613 or something. Without a crash dump
we don't see where it crashed and thus can't do much.

I was able to recreate this using 'pkcon upgrade' as mentioned in the
description of the bug report. I did not find a crash report in
/var/crash/ though.

packagekit postinst is restarting packagekit:

deb-systemd-invoke try-restart 'packagekit-offline-update.service'
'packagekit.service'

so yes, that's what's causing the issue. I don't think I agree with the
importance High, though. PackageKit is not normally used for upgrading,
only for installing and removing packages. You have to manually force
this by using pkcon, hence it should be Medium I think.

Not true. packagekit is the default update mechanism used in Kubuntu via
GUI, and update system tray notifications.

I don't think there is a solution for this problem. We can stop
restarting packagekit to fix the crash, but then you end up with old
packagekitd's running. So if there is a security update in packagekit or
one of its libraries, it would not take effect. Not sure how to fix this
properly.

I don't think there is a solution for this problem.
So why has it only started to happen recently?

What about treating it like a kernel update - don't restart the process
but schedule/request a reboot?

We don't actively kill PackageKit when updating it, we just tell the daemon to quit itself as soon as possible if it can do so.
Also, a packagekitd times out automatically when inactive.
So this crash really shouldn't happen...

The default changed to restart in debhelper 10. I think we need (one
of?) --no-restart-on-upgrade --no-restart-after-upgrade passed to
dh_installsystemd.

Yes, I completely missed that change, this needs to be changed.
I need to prepare a new upload for Debian anyway, maybe I can change this behavior on the weekend at Debian.

Bionic: 18.04

+ [Test case]
+ Upgrade packagekit using pkcon, make sure it does not "crash".

+ [Regression potential]
+ It could only lead to old packagekitd processes not restarting. packagekit will still be told to restart itself like before, the restart being added was unintended.

Hello Rik, or anyone else affected,

Accepted packagekit into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/1.1.9-1ubuntu2.18.04.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu Bionic)
