Description Harald Sitter 2019-04-25 09:29:28 UTC

when an offline update fails it leaves behind status information. this information should be displayed very prominently since the system may be in a bad state

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have offline upgrade fail
2. log into rebooted system

OBSERVED RESULT
no error indication yet stuff is crashing

EXPECTED RESULT
indicate error

$ cat /var/lib/PackageKit/offline-update-competed
[PackageKit Offline Update Results]
Success=false
ErrorCode=failed-initialization
ErrorDetails=Error while installing package: unable to make backup link of './usr/sbin/org.kde.neon.packagekit.offline-policy' before installing new version
