Even worse, it seems a malicious app could ship a broken service file and with that corrupt the database. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libaccounts-glib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393470 Title: Service cache doesn't update as services change Status in “libaccounts-glib” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: libaccounts-glib caches the list of current services inside its SQLite database, along with some basic information about the service (including the provider ID).

It'll only break for the one app that ships the broken service file, so it shouldn't impact the db on a global level. Still, this is extremely annoying for devs. ** Changed in: libaccounts-glib (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical = High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libaccounts-glib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393470 Title: Service cache doesn't update as services change Status in “libaccounts-glib” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: libaccounts-glib caches the list of current services inside its SQLite database, along with some basic information about the service (including the provider ID).

Note that this can cause confusion for apps that ship with a .service file. A fix may not take effect, or a breakage may not be noticed, since the old, working configuration persisted.
