Still happens on 21.04. sudo systemctl stop <pid of packagekitd> fixes it temporarily on my system. Restarting the computer did not help by the way. Packagekitd was always starting at boot, not sure why. It works sometimes though, not much critical and can be fixed by stopping packagekitd but it always frustrates me. Maybe packagekitd should get some sort of timeout or such? Don't know much about what it does.
