#Description of problem: While automatically Updating Fedora 14, something crashed, and I believe it was PackageKit, unless it was gnome-packagekit. #Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.6.12-2.fc14 (i686) #How reproducible: only happened today. it didn't happen any time before today. #Steps to Reproduce: 1. add Adobe stable repo 2. add rpmFusion Free stable repo 3. add rpmFusion nonFree stable repo 4. try to cancel autoupdate once 5. restart computer 6. try updating repos 7. autoupdate starts 8. autoupdate crashes #Actual results: autoupdate crashes and leaves a slew of error notification windows (it showed 4 of them, in my case) with the error message reproduced below in the "Additional info" section. #Expected results: updates in background and doesn't exit unexpectedly. #Additional info: autoupdate with default repos, rpmfusion free + nonfree, and adobe repos installed, as far as I know, since this is what changed most recently pertaining to overall package stability; i have installed some other packages and apps, but I don't think installing those caused the problem. I did, however, interrupt an autoupdate so I could install Openoffice.org, and then restarted my computer and then refreshed the repos, which alerted autoupdate to run again, only this time, it crashed. Message Window text: "An internal system error has occurred A problem that we were not expecting has occurred. Please report this bug in your distribution bugtracker with the error description." Error description inside the text box: "The backend exited unexpectedly. This is a serious error as the spawned backend did not complete the pending transaction."

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
