    Discover issues after upgrading to Disco Dingo. PackageKit database corruption?

    I'm having some weird issues in one of my systems with Discover after upgrading Kubuntu to Disco:

    1. When I opened Discover after the Disco upgrade it would not let me upgrade apps and the "Sources" section show two "(undefined)" entries.

    2. After a bit of tinkering I figured out it could be something to do with PackageKit, and I was right!

    3. If I execute the commands "sudo rm /var/lib/PackageKit/*.db", "sudo systemctl restart packagekit" and "pkcon repair" Discover gets fixed, but partially. The app shows both the "Upgrades" and "Sources" sections correctly but it won't let me upgrade apps nor check for updates (the buttons are greyed out).

    4. If I close Discover I get a lot of "Obtaining dependencies", "Obtaining details" and "Searching files" notifications, I assume this are PackageKit operations that are failing somehow.
