[LUG] Packagekit

 

Cleaning up vanilla Debian 9 desktop yesterday. Noticed PackageKit was repeatedly 
downloading and verifying Debian release files, and messing with gpgv in the 
background making performance choppy.

This was happening quite frequently, maybe once a minute. 

I checked the obvious to me stuff but KDE was set to check for updates once a day. 
All the packages were up to date. Does see why it would need to bother the mirrors 
so frequently, I struggle to believe the files involved change that fast so maybe a 
caching issue?! 

Is there some config setting or similar that does this? Do I really need PackageKit?

Itâs an old Debian 9 install but very lightly used and only used by me. I havenât 
done much deep fiddling except poke X.org to work with headphones. So nothing Iâd 
expect to upset PackageKitd.
