[Bug 1860985] [NEW] packagekitd using 100% CPU

[Owen Savill]

Public bug reported:

That's all I can report at this stage. Any attempt to kill it or disable
the service fails and up goes its CPU usage, fans blowing the works!

I am uid: 1000. It would be helpful if it gave some indication as to
"the application". I can't find anywhere to admin this. It looks like my
trust level is too low "only_trusted:0"
