Title:
pkcon crashes in transaction with user prompt
Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in packagekit source package in Oracular:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
`pkcon install <pkg>` crashes after install, and likewise
`pkcon remove <pkg>` crashes after removal.
More in general, all pkcon transactions that prompt the user with a
question like "Proceed with changes? [N/y]" will crash after
completing the transaction.
This is fixed by correcting a reference counting issue which was
causing a double-free.
[ Test Case 1 ]
1. Run `pkcon install 2048`
2. Answer `n` to "Proceed with changes? [N/y]"
3. Verify that pkcon does not print
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:02:00.011: g_object_unref: assertion
'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[ Test Case 2 ]
1. Run `pkcon install 2048`
2. Answer `y` to "Proceed with changes? [N/y]"
3. Complete the install
4. Verify that pkcon did not crash with segmentation fault
[ Where things could go wrong ]
If the fix is too broad, we could be leaking memory, but pkcon is not a
daemon anyways.
If the fix is not broad enough, the issue might still be happening in
specific cases we haven't tested.
