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.

Git commit e87a50f455619dea5c51dea9c290556739112fc7 by Nate Graham. Committed on 11/04/2023 at 20:53. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. 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.
