I think I played with some more, but essentially the current code is
just severely broken, even if there are regressions somewhere, they'd be
less severe than the current state.

Were packages other than opera and which use debconf tested to ensure
there are no regressions?

Hello errors.ubuntu.com, or anyone else affected,

Accepted packagekit into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/1.1.9-1ubuntu2.18.04.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

I think the SRU remains blocked on this question?

[Bug 1722185] Re: Crash installing packages using debconf

[Robert Ancell]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Installing .deb package via PackageKit (e.g. using GNOME Software) don't work 
reliably when the packages use debconf. This is due to a faulty implementation 
of debconf handling in PackageKit.
  
  [Test Case]
  1. Download opera deb file from opera.com
  2. Run the file to launch gnome-software
  3. Install it
  4. Proceed with the debconf prompt
  
  Expected result:
  A debconf dialog appears asking if you want to "update Opera with the rest of 
the system?". The dialog closes when completed and the package is installed.
  
  Actual result:
  The dialog shows, but never closes and becomes unresponsive. Force closing 
the dialog causes a crash.
  
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The change is quite large, so there is a reasonable chance of introducing new 
bugs in debconf handling. However, the existing code has some obviously wrong 
codepaths, so the new code is probably a lower risk than the existing code.
+ 
  Crash reports:

[Bug 1722185] Re: Crash installing packages using debconf

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Since the proposed changes are quite big and seem a bit intrusive, I
would appreciate a Regression Potential analysis as per our SRU
guidelines. I would like to know where we could expect regressions after
this change lands in the stable series.

Also, even though this does seem to be like a frequently-seen crash for
both bionic and artful, I wouldn't want to jam it into the stable series
too hastily. I see the second PackageKit pull request has not yet been
approved by upstream - could we get someone reviewing it and merging
before we proceed? Normally I'd also wait for cosmic to migrate, but I
actually see we're only blocked on the armhf tests not being run - so it
seems to be fine so far.
