Description ioo+kde 2022-03-21 02:21:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
I attempted to upgrade from 5.24.1 to 5.24.3 using KDE Discover. When I rebooted I got this message:

Failed Offline Update
Failed to update package 35.31.45.
Open Discover
Repair System.

I opened discover and tried up updated again. When the PC rebooted I got the similar message: 
Failed to update package 0.9252.

I tried to apply the updates again and got this message:
Failed to update package 0.0000.

I attempted to update again, same message:
Failed to update package 0.0000.

I tried to Repair System button. This does nothing, it is an empty button.

I followed the advice here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kdeneon/comments/t51rnr/pkcon_update_then_fatal_error_error_while/

I issued the following commands:

dpkg --configure -a
apt update
pkcon update

This worked, I upgraded my system to 5.24.3. The problem is that Discover always tells me:

Failed Offline Update
Failed to update package 0.0000.
Open Discover
Repair System

whenever I restart my system. How can I remove this notification message from appearing every time I boot? It is not correct anymore. KDE Discover failed to update the system pkcon did work but now KDE Discover is showing me a broken notification.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run KDE Discover
2. The update fails
3. Run 

OBSERVED RESULT
Fatal error: Error while installing package: 0.0000

EXPECTED RESULT
KDE Discover will work successfully to update the system. This notification will not always appear when booting.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Always clear offline updates file after a repair operation

No matter what the results of the repair operation were, there's nothing
of any value that anyone can do with the file anymore, and if it sticks
around, it can annoy the user on every subsequent login for no good
reason. So let's just remove it.
