I have a loud fan and don't like when CPU goes hot for no reason.

When I start Loki 25% of CPU is taken by packagekitd which is enough to make the fan too loud. Anyway, I expect that to check for updates and go off quickly, but instead it keeps running. I can kill it manually but that's not the way to go.

After killing it and searching manually for updates (AppCenter/Updates), packagekitd starts again, and then it doesn't stress the CPU at all and also closes very quickly after having searched for updates.

What to do?

    It's amazing this bug is almost a year old. I wonder how many kilowatts and barrels of oil this bug has consumed.
