[Bug 1860985] Re: packagekitd using 100% CPU

[Owen]

It's off again, this time an opensuse repository. I would remove it
about now but it seems it can't be removed without breaking other stuff.

The following packages will be REMOVED
  apturl gnome-packagekit gnome-software gnome-software-plugin-flatpak gnome-software-plugin-snap gstreamer1.0-packagekit muon muon-discover muon-notifier muon-updater
  nautilus-share package-update-indicator packagekit pk-update-icon plasma-discover software-properties-common software-properties-gtk software-properties-qt ubuntu-desktop
  ubuntu-desktop-minimal ubuntu-software

Good grief, it's got its tentacles in to loads.

How do I disable it, how do I make it check for updates every few hours
not seconds, how do I tell it not to retry broken PPAs insessently
consuming 100% CPU. How do I turn this wretched thing off?!

  I am uid: 1000. It would be helpful if it gave some indication as to
  "the application". I can't find anywhere to admin this. It looks like
  my trust level is too low "only_trusted:0"
