Bug#930168: plasma-discover hangs while looking for updates, emits many notifications when closed
Package: plasma-discover
Version: 5.14.5.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I've installed Kali Linux (rolling release) and selected the KDE/Plasma
desktop.
There's an icon on the taskbar that indicates there are upates available.
Clicking on the icon pops up a window that says there's 12 updates
available, with a 'view updates' button.
Clicking on the button brings up plasma-discover, which starts off in
'Checking for updates...' mode, with 'Fetching...' in the title bar, and
'Fetching...' and 'Looking for updates' in the main pane, but it just
sits there doing nothing.
A few seconds after I close plasma-discover, a stream of 20+ "Searching
for file: Finished" desktop notifications pop up.
I've learned to not update the system using plasma-discover and instead
use 'apt-get dis-upgrade'. :-)
Good luck!
