Hello Martin,
Ten days ago you wrote:
It looks like we are at the same level now. I too downgraded
kpackagekit
to version 0.5.2-1 and ... the KDE Daemon didn't crash. Available updates
are visible. The crashes didn't happen anymore, after I got the following
updates:

Which one is relevant if one? I don't know. May be there is still somewhere
a 'red herring'? :-)
It might very well be one still left ;-)
A couple of days ago I suddenly started getting kded4 crashes after I checked
for upgrades with kpackagekit and found at least one upgrade. As this was new,
and I had been able to use kpackagekit without any problems since the last
packagekit upgrade, I started downgrading what I had recently upgraded in other
packages. However this didn't solve the crash-problem so I re-upgraded again.
All the time I checked frequently if the kded4 crash still was there and it was!
After much thought I remembered that I had adjusted the KDE system-settings at
about the time the crashes started. Some experimentation later I found that if
the "Kpackagekit-tjänst" (-service in english) is started in system-settings

whether I actually upgraded something or not as long as there are upgrades
available.
This is fully reproducible. I also have a backtrace but I doubt if it's of any
use. It's included below anyhow. I use kpackagekit-0.5.2-1.fc12.x86_64.
Regards
Jan
