Packagekit errors in syslog

Hi,
does someone know what is this error (spammed multiple times) in my syslog? It appears when the Packagekit daemon starts automatically:

2025-06-01T22:05:39.934004+02:00 scatorrrciooo-sorrrciooo systemd[1]: Started packagekit.service - PackageKit Daemon.

How can I solve it? And, more importantly, is it something to be afraid of? The PC behaves normally anyways.

Thanks

Re: Packagekit errors in syslog

You need to update your system first. Do you perform updates manually ? Have you installed update manager ?
