Description of problem: This crash has been happening repeatedly. I got a reprieve for about a day and it is back to crashing repeatedly every time I try to install software or try to use gpk-update-viewer to update. The crashes occur right in the middle of installs and updates. Version-Release number of selected component: PackageKit-0.8.4-3.fc18 Additional info: libreport version: 2.0.15 abrt_version: 2.0.14 backtrace_rating: 4 cmdline: /usr/libexec/packagekitd crash_function: pk_backend_cancel kernel: 3.6.1-1.fc18.x86_64 truncated backtrace: :Thread no. 1 (8 frames) : #0 pk_backend_cancel at pk-backend-zif.c:1858 : #1 pk_transaction_cancel at pk-transaction.c:3243 : #2 pk_transaction_method_call at pk-transaction.c:5392 : #3 call_in_idle_cb at gdbusconnection.c:4737 : #7 g_main_context_iteration at gmain.c:3351 : #8 pk_transaction_plugin_phase at pk-transaction.c:961 : #9 pk_transaction_run at pk-transaction.c:2143 : #10 pk_transaction_list_run_idle_cb at pk-transaction-list.c:318

I had to log on as root to get this report out. abrt refused to show it or allow me to file a report until I did so.
Have no idea what is happening but PackageKit errors are frequent. I have experienced problems with PackageKit off and on since Fedora 14. I wasn't doing anything except browsing the web when abrt showed the error. backtrace_rating: 4 Package: PackageKit-0.8.4-7.fc18 OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)

Does this still happen with f19+?
I no longer am using Fedora 19. Next spate of updates for F20, I'll check using gpk-update. I had stopped using the gpk applications to update or install software.
Just as I had posted the above, I saw that there were three new updates for KDE available. I did not this time see a crash during the update using gpk-update.
Okay, please re-open if it happens again. Thanks.
I am not seeing the error previously but any updates or even local installs using PackageKit are slow as molasses in winter. I just updated three small packages and it took well over six minutes, including scanning all repositories even for a purely local install. Before that it took several minutes before the system even showed that PackageKit was doing anything. At least it isn't crashing, though.
