RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Katerina Koukiou 2019-01-03 12:01:08 UTC
Description of problem:
On latest RHEL 8 image (virt-install from nightly compose), PackageKit started dumping core when installing package that was just removed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-1.1.12-2.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

(app-1 is a dummy package we use for testing)

1: Install a package with pkcon

[root@localhost ~]# pkcon install app-1
Resolving                     [=========================]         
Finished                      [                         ] (0%)  
The following packages have to be installed:
 app-1-1.0-1.noarch	dummy app-1
Proceed with changes? [N/y] y

                              [=========================]         
Testing changes               [=========================]

Installing packages           [=========================]         
Finished                      [=========================]         

2: Remove the package that was just installed

[root@localhost ~]# pkcon -y remove app-1
Resolving                     [=========================]         
Removing                      [=========================]

Requesting data               [=========================]         
Finished                      [=========================]         


3: Try to install it again

[root@localhost ~]# pkcon install app-1
Resolving                     [=========================]

Here it's crashing, and from the journal we can see the Stack Trace pasted in bellow.

Actual results:
Core dumped

Expected results:
Installation successful

Comment 1 Kalev Lember 2019-01-03 12:52:08 UTC
Could you get a backtrace with glib2, libdnf and PackageKit debuginfo installed, please?

'dnf debuginfo-install glib2 libdnf PackageKit' and then 'coredumpctl gdb packagekitd' followed by 't a a bt full'

Comment 5 Martin Pitt 2019-05-01 06:53:24 UTC
We haven't seen this since end of January any more, so I'm closing this for now.
