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.
