Hi, interesting backtrace.
Do you get any errors when starting discover?

yes two in all
Comment 5 Aleix Pol 2018-02-15 14:03:45 UTC 
PackageKit crashing!? Shouldn't happen...

Can you see if you can get a backtrace?
you can use coredumpctl for that...
Comment 6 Harald Sitter 2018-02-15 15:41:42 UTC 
sudo apt install systemd-coredump

then trigger the crash

then you should be able to get crash info with `coredumpctl info packagekitd`

Hi Aleix, I think it was part user error a while back I wanted to use VLC as a snap so I thought I would uninstall VLC that came natively, it did ask me to uninstall other packages besides VLC and I was not thinking at the time and it uninstalled a bunch of other stuff such as discover had to do apt install neon-desktop to get everything back. That was when I started getting that error there are still a couple glitches in discover but nothing worth reinstalling the operating system for. I still use discover to do my updates and I am still using the same install of neon.
Comment 11 Nate Graham 2018-03-04 00:11:27 UTC 
Great, thanks for the information. Let's open new bugs about subsequent issues.

FYI, the issue of VLC uninstalling the whole world when removed is a packaging bug in Neon, and I would encourage you to file a bug there if you can still reproduce it.
