No I had not read this manpage (by the way, maybe it should be mentioned in packagekit-offline-update.service?), thanks for the pointer. While very interesting, I could not find something related to my issue. Did I miss something?

Hello. Did you read systemd.offline-updates man page? If not, here link:
https://manpages.debian.org/testing/systemd/systemd.offline-updates.7.en.html

Hi list,

I am using testing with KDE (but I suppose the desktop environnent
does not matter). I had a LOT of updates to apply today, so I used KDE
Discover (Gnome Software equivalent for KDE) to apply those in offline
mode, ie updates are dowloaded and then computer reboots in a special
mode just to update packages, and reboot normally when finished.

However, update stopped before all packages where updated and computer
rebooted with packages in a broken state.

When I look journalctl, I see beginning of the update process:

17:44:41 pk-offline-update[742]: sent mode to plymouth 'updates'

And exactly ten minutes later it stops brutally:

17:54:40 systemd[1]: packagekit-offline-update.service: Main process
exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM
17:54:40 systemd[1]: packagekit-offline-update.service: Failed with
result 'signal'.


I suppose this maximum time comes somewhere from a systemd
configuration or systemd unit, but could not find where. Any idea?
Also, do you think I should report this issue? Against which package?

Hi Yvan,

I don't know what the problem is. Possible workarounds could be to try
to upgrade the system from console:

- option #1
# apt update
# apt upgrade

- option #2
# aptitude update
# aptitude upgrade


Kind regards
Georgi

Hi Georgi,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already know how to do that. I think
offline updates are a good thing for "average user", so I would like either:
- knowing how to configure Debian properly so that it works realiably
- or reporting this issue somewhere so that it can be fixed in
Debian/upstream

Regards,
Yvan
