It looks like the ALPM backend hangs/crashes many times when I do some operations in gpk-application, e.g. when search, install and remove packages.

Package versions:
- packagekit 1.0.5-1
- gnome-packagekit 3.14.2-2
This task depends upon

packagekit 1.0.5-2 should fix your issue. Please make sure the updated service file is used, e.g. run:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl stop packagekit.service

Service will be started automatically when required.

Yes, it fixes the problem, but pacman updates are still not tracked properly. If I install/update/remove something with pacman while packagekitd running, I have to restart the packagekit service, otherwise the updated packages are not tracked.

Ok, probably we have a fix. Please install packagekit 1.0.5-3 with the following command. The package is signed, pacman should not complain:

pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~eworm/packagekit-1.0.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

or for i686:

pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~eworm/packagekit-1.0.5-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz

And give it some good testing.
