<p>Hi</p>
<p>Trying this mailing list to see if I can solve this with the
developers itself.</p>
<p>I also posted on Arch foruns >>

<p>After some checking on your bug tracker I noticed this old
thread >>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91698">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91698</a></p>
<p>Seems to be a very similar situation. I dont use any custom
repo so my is "SigLevel = Optional"<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Im using KDE Plasma5 and Discover application to install and
detect package updates.</p>
<p>At the moment it always tells me that the system is up to date,
when there is updates to install (it is Arch Linux, so every day
should have an update available <img

width="15" height="15"> )<br>
Installing software using Discover is also not possible.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Manually updating the system with </p>
<div class="codebox">
<pre><code>pacman -Syu</code></pre>
</div>
<p> works OK.</p>
<p>Installing sofware with pacman also works OK.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I try to use packagekit to detect the updates it gives the
error:</p>
<div class="codebox">
<pre><code>$ pkcon get-updates

<p>Already removed the files that were on </p>
<div class="codebox">
<pre><code>/var/cache/PackageKit/alpm/</code></pre>
</div>
<p> but still persists.<br>
The files that were on that folder dated back to 2015 and I
suspect it was some file remains from the old Gnome instalation
(Gnome-software also uses packagekit)</p>
<p>Some hints:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>This Arch install already had most of the DE installed
(Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate). I believe I removed most of the
dependencies/configurations but you never know...<br>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Used a 2nd partition with another Arch instalation for some
time but now I got back to use only one partition on my
laptop. Dont remember if it was working ok on the other one.<br>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Already reinstalled packagekit and packagekit-qt5 but I
dont see any difference.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Any clues on how I can solve this?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Keit<br>
