[BUG] Installed PackageKit causing long time to confirmation dialog on reboot/shutdown/logout

[shdwchn10]

Describe the bug
I installed cockpit on clean Fedora Silverblue 34 in KVM. cockpit has dependency cockpit-packagekit which depend on PackageKit. After cockpit installation it takes ~20sec before shutdown confirmation dialog.

To Reproduce
Please describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug:

1. Install cockpit or just PackageKit
2. Reboot
3. Try to shutdown from GNOME Shell panel

Expected behavior
zero delay before confirmation dialog

OS version:

34.20210920.0

Additional context
Looks similar to #189

Errors in journal after trying to shutdown with PackageKit installed:

Sep 20 10:55:20 localhost gnome-shell[4335]: Ignored exception from dbus method: Gio.IOErrorEnum: Timeout was reached
Sep 20 10:55:20 localhost gnome-shell[4335]: Failed to get update info from PackageKit: Timeout was reached

Fedora Workstation 34 doesn't affected. (tested in KVM)

PackageKit will not really work on Silverblue. cockpit-packagekit is a recommend for cockpit. Are you sure you did not explicitly installed it?

rpm-ostree status output would help here.

rpm -qa | grep cockpit and rpm -qa | grep Package then :)

@travier do I have to provide any other info or output?

[travier]

This is an issue in GNOME Software which requires PackageKit-glib for an unknown reason, even on Silverblue:

$ rpm -q --requires gnome-software | grep packagekit
libpackagekit-glib2.so.18()(64bit)

I've reported that as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2008154

[shdwchn10]

Thanks! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2008154 was resolved, but now I can see that guestfs-tools package causes same issue when cockpit installed on Fedora Silverblue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2086302

Thank you for the heads-up @shdwchn10 ! I see that it has been already resolved.
