Description of problem:
An error in python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade causes systemd to reboot the machine while a packagekit offline update is in progress.
The bug prevents updating the system using gnome-software.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-4.0.5-1.fc30.noarch

How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:

Thanks for the report. Can you please check if the bug is reproducible also with lower version of system-upgrade (python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-4.0.4-1.fc30.noarch) but the same versions of dnf and PackageKit?
If not, I will remove the dnf-plugins-extras-4.0.5 build from the bodhi update, so that it doesn't needlessly block the rest, until I fix this bug.
