Bug ID: 400398
Summary: KPackagekitDaemon crashes on void repositories
Product: plasma-pk-updates
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: b...@mrvanes.com
Target Milestone: ---
Plasma systray shows me an icon telling me updates are available. When I click
this icon, Discover is openened. While Discover fetches list of new packages
(check for updates equivalent), kpackagekitd crashes.
The only way to stop the crashing is to remove all repositories that cause
packagekit to output a line containing:
E: The repository
'http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-legacy/ubuntu cosmic
Release' does not have a Release file.
I am aware that the repository might not have valid packages for cosmic YET,
but I want to be notified as soon as (and if) the maintainer has moved on to
cosmic without constantly having to check launchpad.
My expectation would be that any package management system would gracefully
ignore such errors and continue with valid configuration. Aptitude e.g. shows,
but ignores these errors. I also may make mistakes editing the repository
file(s) and expect to be gracefully forgiven for such mistakes, albeit without
the expected updates from that repository.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add possible future (but invalid) repository location to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory
2. Start Discover, check for updates
3. Tail .xsession-errors file
4. See '... does not have a Release file.' error(s) and kpackagekitd crash
OBSERVED RESULT
kpackagekit crashes
EXPECTED RESULT
Gracefully ignore the errors and continue to update valid repositories
