Version: 0.4.2-0ubuntu3 (using KDE 4.3.2) Compiler: gcc 4.4.1-4ubuntu8 OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I am using Kubuntu Karmic 64-bit. I choose sometimes to upgrade my system manually through a terminal or a TTY, and today when I ran "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" I came back to my system and found over 20 KPackageKit errors waiting for me. (See screenshot). It seems to me that KPackageKit isn't able to see that I'm doing it manually. This bug was originally filed as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kpackagekit/+bug/434390 It seems that locking the dpkg database someway is enough to trigger this bug.
Well, I understand the issue. Right now I can't think of a simple solution since these errors are there so the user can help KPackageKit to start updating things, you will have lot's of them since it'll try again and again.
Changed 'All packages' to 'Text search' in 0.5.1 version.
Oops.. sorry wrong comment in here.. But fixed anyway in commit 1050605 and KPK 0.5.1.1 Now when a error happens and it was triggered by the automatic task it will not be persistent thus going away in a few seconds. KPK will try again in 5 minutes as usual..
