A bug in the remove-with-leaves plugin that erroneously tags packages for removal causes a segmentation fault in PackageKit?
It's not the same bug. You're mixing up at least 3 separate bugs: * the bug you're seeing, where basesystem gets removed by remove-with-leaves * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502399 - remove-with-leaves confuses PackageKit, causing a Python backtrace - fixed in PackageKit 0.4.8 by blacklisting the plugin * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503989 - Kpackagekit crashes after packagekit update - we simply need a new kpackagekit (0.4.1) to go together with the PackageKit 0.4.8 update, we're working on this right now
In any case, we might as well just remove the plugin completely from Fedora and call it a day.
In this particular case, I wouldn't be opposed to that, the plugin is just broken by design.
If another packages has a problem and the plugin is involved then the plugin is blacklisted.
Only within that package. I think PackageKit is simply not designed to allow yum plugins to add additional packages to remove.
