Comment 12 Dmitry S. Makovey 2013-03-08 16:39:26 UTC 
I get constant crashes of PackageKit with abrt eating up my disk space like crazy. Sometimes it's SIGABRT, sometimes it SIGSEGV (11). 

I'm thinking of disabling abrt however that will only mask the issue.

Note on setup: installed with Minimal install and then manually added KDE & LXDE desktops.
Comment 13 Dmitry S. Makovey 2013-03-08 16:41:03 UTC 
Note also - crashes are typically observed while in KDE. However LXDE used infrequently so it's possible it happens there also, I just didn't notice.
Comment 14 Richard Hughes 2013-12-11 09:04:22 UTC 
The zif backend has been replaced by the hawkey backend in F20 and rawhide.
