Description 129492de 2016-02-12 18:21:43 UTC
Every few hours (sometimes more often) appear a series of Update Error messages with the following text: 
"The task was forcibly canceled The[sic] Task was canceled successfully and no packages were changed. The backend did not exit cleanly."

This is always repeated three times but it seems a new message appears when the first one disappears, so there may be more than 3 error messages emitted at the same time.

When this happens I am still able to refresh the repositories and update packages with zypper, so there doesn't seem to be any problem accessing the repositories.

The software update still shows available updates and updates packages without any problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using the computer normally, without worrying about updates.

Actual Results:  
Often Update Errorr messages appear.

Expected Results:  
Apper working in the background without errors or error messages.

Version 0.9.2, according to apper's about dialogue

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/system/apper

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
