Bug#1145932: Issue possibly not fixed

Hello all,

In my initial bug report, the tracked issue was specifically for the
packagekit back-end, perhaps things got mixed up in the mean time with
another issue for the snap back-end; I can confirm the issue is definitely
not fixed on my side – I've installed 6.7.4-2, when launching
plasma-discover with the packagekit backend, it still freezes, all other
back-ends work (well, the ones I have installed, I don't use snap, so
unfortunately I could not test this).
I believe the issue should be reopened, since the correction listed in
6.7.4-2 do not target packagekit.

To sumarise (what I did on my machine):

Works:
plasma-discover --backends flatpak-backend,fwupd-backend,kns-backend
Works, freezes when changing to package browsing tabs:
plasma-discover --mode Update --backends packagekit
Freezes on start-up (because it launches directly on Home, which is one of
the package browsable tabs):
plasma-discover --backends packagekit
If you need me to open a different bug for 6.4.7-2, or need any other
information, please tell me.
Thank you for your support!

Best,
ThB
