Public bug reported:
I have etckeeper installed to track changes to /etc using git.
After applying updates in kpackagekit, it hangs with the progress window
at 100% with the action "Committing changes"
Looking at the running processes, I see this:
4786 1233 root ? Sl 0:06 /usr/lib/packagekit/packagekitd

29895 4920 root pts/2 S+ 0:00 \_ git
commit -F /tmp/etckeeper-git.tP2X3IaUpT
git log in /etc shows that the commit has been made sucessfully - the
most recent commit has the right date and the list of changes is what
has just been updated.
strace on the stalled git process shows:
[root@linchpin /etc <master>]# strace -p 29895
Process 29895 attached - interrupt to quit
write(1, "[master 82c5deb] committing chan"..., 490
Which suggests that nothing is reading from the stdout of the post
