** 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: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/f111546905209e7288c7f8ba5f8f19eea4d97bad
