It might very well be one still left ;-)
A couple of days ago I suddenly started getting kded4 crashes after I
checked for upgrades with kpackagekit and found at least one upgrade. As
this was new, and I had been able to use kpackagekit without any problems
since the last packagekit upgrade, I started downgrading what I had
recently upgraded in other packages. However this didn't solve the
crash-problem so I re-upgraded again. All the time I checked frequently if
the kded4 crash still was there and it was!
After much thought I remembered that I had adjusted the KDE system-settings
at about the time the crashes started. Some experimentation later I found
that if the "Kpackagekit-tjänst" (-service in english) is started in
system-settings > Advanced > Services kded4 crashes some ten minutes after
kpackagekit is closed whether I actually upgraded something or not as long
as there are upgrades available.
This is fully reproducible. I also have a backtrace but I doubt if it's of
any use. It's included below anyhow. I use
kpackagekit-0.5.2-1.fc12.x86_64.
Hi Jan,
In Koji you can find kpackagekit-0.5.2-2.fc12.x86_64. To me, this version
doesn't crash and has automatic update notification fixed.
Hopes this helps,
Martin Kho
