[Bug 1245061] Re: muon-updater stuck at Loading Software List

[Corrado Mella]

Same here: gear icon appearing on the systray, hovering above with the
mouse the pop-up appears saying there are updates, clicking on it brings
up the muon-updater window that invariably says "The software on this
computer is up to date".

So, muon-notifier works OK, but muon-updater fails.

A few pointers:
- Running muon-updater from the command line I get two "JSonScanner::yylex - error reading from io device" errors;
- The muon-updater window also says "Last checked X minutes and Y seconds ago", so looks like it's not really checking when called;
- Selecting "More..." and "Check for updates", I get at first this:

found error while replying
QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs", "")

then on subsequent repeats I get:

found error while replying
QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply", "Did not receive a
reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.")

At the moment I'm using muon-notifier only as "the canary in the
trench", then running Muon Package Manager, filtering by
"Status"-"Upgradeable" and applying the upgrades from there.

Worryingly, there are now four security upgrades pending that muon-
updater should apply automatically - as per my settings - as soon as
they're released, but obviously now it doesn't.

It's then a high priority security issue somebody should look into with
the utmost urgency.
