Thanks for the report. Thanks also for finding the fix. If you're using KDE, this may also be related to Apper being activated. Patch applied in Mageia 4 and Cauldron. Martin, please confirm that the updated packages in Mageia 4 core/updates_testing fix this problem for you. It appears from your initial report that you're running on x86_64 (we'll need tests on both architectures before releasing the update). Please let us know what architectures you test on. Thanks again. Advisory: ---------------------------------------- PackageKit was incorrectly sending debug messages to syslog by default. It has been patched to correct this.

It seems to be fixed with the latest version. I am running on x86_64.
Thank you Martin.

I did not manage to reproduce in Mageia 4 i586. How am I suppose to receive popups from syslogd? I tried installing syslog-ng and starting the service, but nothing particular happened.

I'm not sure; Martin didn't indicate which desktop environment he's using. Perhaps seeing the issue would also require having syslogd running when you log in. I wouldn't worry too much about it; the reporter confirmed that it fixes the issue, so if the package installs fine on i586 this should be validatable.
Then validating, the install goes fine on i586. Advisory upload. Could a sysadmin push the update to core/updates in Mageia 4?
