Updating all apps, when not commanded so

[Olf0]

Storeman seems to erroneously update all apps listed in Installed applications: Update available, when:

• updating the first (topmost) app listed there per long press -> Update
• uninstalling any app per long press -> Remove, which is listed in the Update available section

In all other cases individually updating apps per long press -> Update in Installed applications: Update available seems to work fine.
Side note: Updating all apps listed there per Update all in the pulley menu sure works fine.

Observed with Storeman 0.1.5

P.S.: Loosely related to issue #92.

Yes it's an annoying known issue. Currently I'm rewriting (again) the core part of Storeman. I hope it should fix this issue.

It also happens if updating per pulley menu from app details view.

It seems to be an issue of PackageKit

That would be a bit unfortunate, as we would have to wait for the PackageKit maintainers and Jolla in order to have this issue resolved.
Did you find a corresponding issue report for PackageKit or is it trying to find a solution for so long, what made you assuming a PackageKit bug?

what made you assuming a PackageKit bug

The issue is actual for pkcon as well as for Storeman. Also (I understand it's not a good argument, but) I couldn't find a bug in the Storeman's code.

Sorry, I had too much life events the last half a year. I just can't develop Storeman right now.

[Olf0]

That absolutely is O.K., real life should always come first!

So I might try to find a similar PackageKit issue and its status, when I have some time for that.
I would be happy, if @Pohli or someone else interested could contribute to that.

Also happens when installing a new app

Yes, updating or freshly installing makes no difference for this PackageKit misbehaviour.

But it does not always happen, even though often.

This also happens with the SailfishOS:Chum GUI app, which utilises PackageKit, too.

Hence this is quite clearly a bug in PackageKit which should be filed there.
