Cleaning up vanilla Debian 9 desktop yesterday. Noticed PackageKit was repeatedly downloading and verifying Debian release files, and messing with gpgv in the background making performance choppy. This was happening quite frequently, maybe once a minute. I checked the obvious to me stuff but KDE was set to check for updates once a day. All the packages were up to date. Does see why it would need to bother the mirrors so frequently, I struggle to believe the files involved change that fast so maybe a caching issue?! Is there some config setting or similar that does this? Do I really need PackageKit? Itâs an old Debian 9 install but very lightly used and only used by me. I havenât done much deep fiddling except poke X.org to work with headphones. So nothing Iâd expect to upset PackageKitd. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
