Subject: [Test-Announce] Urgent F21 testing request: libhif and PackageKit

Hi, folks!

We recently found out that there were some significant problems with PackageKit 
and things that use it (GNOME Software, Apper, gnome-
packagekit...) in Fedora 21, since the release of libhif-0.1.7 as an update 
shortly after F21 came out. The initial bug people noticed was offline updates 
failing to work, but in subsequent testing we found that regular package 
install and remove operations could cause crashes in PackageKit-based apps and 
it was possible for the PackageKit database to be corrupted.

It would be great if folks could, as a matter of urgency, test this
update:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/PackageKit-1.0.4-1.fc21,libhif-
0.1.8-1.fc21

Please install the updated packages, reboot (or at least restart the packagekit 
service), run 'pkcon repair' as root, reboot again, and then test regular use 
of GNOME Software and pkcon as much as possible - try installing and removing 
packages, running offline updates, and so on. If your package set is up to date 
you can try downgrading a package in order to test offline updates - try 'yum 
downgrade devassistant', for instance, if you have it installed, then check for 
updates in GNOME Software.

As the bugs were pretty serious we'd like to release the fix as soon as 
possible, but at the same time we want to make sure we tested it thoroughly.

Thanks folks! And thanks a lot to Richard Hughes for working to fix this 
quickly, and Kamil for doing a lot of testing on it.
