Hi Robert, just so you know, we appear to be seeing bug reports also on
the package upgrade side as a result of these dropped debconf socket
connections, e.g.: bug #1691983.  It's sensible for gnome-software not
to crash on a failed connection, but I think ultimately what we need are
succeeding connections :) so there may be more work to be done here.
(unless the failing connections from the other side are because gnome-
software has already crashed at that point?)

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The change to add debconf support (bug 1679435) caused new crashes to occur 
in errors.ubuntu.com. The stacktrace show this crash occurring when a 
g_socket_accept generates an error. The exact cause of this failing is unknown, 
but the fix is to handle this error like any other.

  [Test Case]
  1. Run GNOME Software

  Expected result:
  Doesn't crash

  Observed result:
  Crashes reported on errors.ubuntu.com

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, we not just exit a function when an error occurs instead of crashing.
