From change log:

  • Mon Sep 09 2019 Jonathan Kang <sckang@suse.com>
  • Modify PackageKit-systemd-timers.patch: Port the cron
    configuration variables to the script, and add -sendwait
    parameter to mail in the script(bsc#1130306).
    Adding -sendwait to mail fixes the bug reported in March. Moving the cron configuration variables to /usr/share/PackageKit/packagekit-background.sh and no longer sourcing /etc/sysconfig/packagekit-background is cumbersome: This file being owned by PackageKit I am not aware how to modify the environment without changing the file itself, thus the changes being lost upon updating Packagekit.

Any suggestions?

Hi
Go with the Tumbleweed roll :wink: /etc and the likes of cron are on the way out…

I put the previous version of packagekit-background.sh into another directory and adjusted the unit accordingly:
