Hello everyone! I just encountered an issue. I updated my system using dnf distrosync and now KDE Discover doesn’t work. I have PackageKit-Qt6 installed with version 1.1 (even though the current version of Discover was built against PackageKit version 1.3) and PackageKit version 1.3, which causes Discover to crash. What do I do?
Have you tried sudo dnf upgrade --refresh ?
Yes, I have indeed tried the command “sudo dnf upgrade --refesh”. However, despite KDE Discover 6.6 being built against PackageKit 1.3, PackageKit-Qt6, the latest availible version of PackageKit-Qt6 is 1.1.1-2, which seems to cause issues
What happens when it crashes, and are there any logs?
I don’t use Discover very much, but I think have the same package versions installed as you, and for me it doesn’t seem to crash.
PackageKit.x86_64 1.3.4-1.fc43 updates
PackageKit-Qt6.x86_64 1.1.4-2.fc43 updates
plasma-discover.x86_64 6.6.3-1.fc43 updates
here are the error messages plasma-discover throws:
QThreadStorage: entry 2 destroyed before end of thread 0x55ec3e567b30
QThreadStorage: entry 1 destroyed before end of thread 0x55ec3e567b30
I see - I don’t get that, so I wonder what is causing the difference between my system and yours.
PackageKit still uses dnf4 so you might test like:
sudo dnf4 upgrade --refresh
Try to downgrade it.
Actually, wait.
We both have PackageKit-Qt6 1.1, but mine is 1.1 .4-2 which is ahead of your 1.1 .1-2.
Like @ilikelinux said, try to upgrade with --refresh and see if you get the latest package.
Downgrading to the common version of 1.1 did fix the issue. Thanks!

According to dnf PackageKit-Qt6 is not available in version 1.1.1-2 for fedora 43.
I am not using KDE so do not have that package, but this is shown for what is available. It appears that PackageKit-Qt6 version 1.1.1-2 has never been part of Fedora 43.
