I think I'm hitting a race issue in pk_backend_finished, like Grzegorz
was seeing in the box backend, but this time with the apt backend.
Running a search that you know only returns one result repeatedly
eventually (3-4 repeats tops) causes a crash with a crappy stacktrace,
even with all the debug symbols on and "G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals
G_SLICE=debug-blocks" set in the environment. Adding in a short delay
(.5s) before the pk_backend_finished removes the problem (>8 repeats,
all ok).
Richard? Anything more you can do to help this?
