Description of problem: packagekitd uses a huge amount of RAM and swap space. My uptime is 10 days and here is what I have: # ps vax | grep -E "COMMAND|packagekit" PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND 877 ?

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot and log in! 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: There is not reason for a package checker to consume the amount of resources it does on a PERMANENT basis. Surely this process and do what it must and then RELEASE them? Additional info:
