Just experienced this using Kubuntu Jaunty/KDE 4.2.2 (clean install, not an upgrade) using the Software Updater. This machine is x86 and otherwise a fairly good spec laptop. Bought it ~2 years ago and it was fairly high-end back then.
Identical error message to everyone else. Kpackagekit reports that I no longer have any updates pending so hopefully that error didn't mean that my updates failed to install :s -- packagekit says: The backend took too much time to process the synchronous request - you need to fork! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272410 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
