            Bug ID: 395921
           Summary: discover 'update all' shows no error Msgs when apt
                    preinstall step fails
           Product: Discover
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PackageKit
          Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
          Reporter: a...@mpe.mpg.de
  Target Milestone: ---

I wanted to upgrade today the 99 pkgs of the plasma 5.13.2 release.

I clicked 'Update all', discover asked for PW and returned last window without
doing anything.  Another Click on 'Update all' had the same behaviour.

I've returned to the command line and apt clearly listed the helpful error msg

# apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
...
99 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/76,0 MB of archives.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

** etckeeper detected uncommitted changes in /etc prior to apt run
** Aborting apt run. Manually commit and restart.

E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Pre-Invoke 'if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ];
then etckeeper pre-install; fi'
E: Sub-process returned an error code


Current behaviour: discover 'update all' seem to not do anything and offers
'update all' again and again.  Ignoring silently error(s?) from apt.

Expected: discover shows the user the error happen when apt complains loudly
