I upgraded my machine from F26 to 27 and found that apper crashes on startup. Upstream KDE issue is linked in. I also installed a fresh KDE spin in a VM and it still happens. Intriguingly running "/usr/bin/kcmshell5 kcm_apper" starts it up fine (sound this by starting "Software Management" from krunner.

I see this too. Also saw it in the last few upgrades to Fedora-26.

Metoo, same messages as aannoaanno showed in Comment 2, happened first time between the 11th and 15th of December while I was still in Fedora 26, and upgrading to Fedora 27 didn't help.
