Package: gnome-software Version: 3.28.2-1 Severity: grave I don't know whether the bug here lies in gnome-software, packagekit, or some combination of the two.
Every time I start my system, I see packagekit burning a huge amount of CPU for a minute, and this affects the performance of the system until it stops. Corresponding to this, I see a large number of log messages like this: Sep 28 12:24:38 s PackageKit[717]: search-file transaction /18520_ddabdebb from uid 1000 finished with success after 643ms Sep 28 12:24:39 s PackageKit[717]: search-file transaction /18521_bbebdedd from uid 1000 finished with success after 301ms On my most recent system boot, I see 167 such messages, spanning nearly a minute worth of 100% CPU. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-software depends on: ii appstream 0.12.2-2 ii apt-config-icons 0.12.2-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.30.0-1 ii gnome-software-common 3.28.2-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.28.1-1 ii libappstream-glib8 0.7.12-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-1 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libcairo2 1.15.12-1 ii libfwupd2 1.1.2-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.0+dfsg-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 ii libgnome-desktop-3-17 3.30.1-1 ii libgspell-1-1 1.6.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.0-3 ii libgtk3-perl 0.034-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 232-2 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.4.2-4 ii libpackagekit-glib2-18 1.1.10-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-21 ii libsecret-1-0 0.18.6-3 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.64.1-1 ii packagekit 1.1.10-1 ii software-properties-gtk 0.96.20.2-1 gnome-software recommends no packages.
