** Description changed: + [Impact] Bionic: 18.04 Version: 1.1.9-1ubuntu2 upgrading itself to 1.1.9-1ubuntu2.18.04.1 Updating with pkcon upgrade or plasma-discover crashes packagekit mid transaction, requiring user intervention on the command line. In plasma-discover the gui reports the crash briefly, but then stalls in apparent mid update, requiring the user to force close it and again resolve the issue on the command line.
