Title:
Crash installing packages using debconf
Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in packagekit source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
Installing .deb package via PackageKit (e.g. using GNOME Software) don't work
reliably when the packages use debconf. This is due to a faulty implementation
of debconf handling in PackageKit.
[Test Case]
1. Download opera deb file from opera.com
2. Run the file to launch gnome-software
3. Install it
4. Proceed with the debconf prompt
Expected result:
A debconf dialog appears asking if you want to "update Opera with the rest of
the system?". The dialog closes when completed and the package is installed.
Actual result:
The dialog shows, but never closes and becomes unresponsive. Force closing
the dialog causes a crash.
