ham (hildon-application-manager) details freeze
HAM bugs/freezes when choosing to list details upon installing a package.
TODO: investigate and fix
The following two can probably be fixed at the same time:

I have this issue running the 20200624 image on a pinephone. Running the App manager from the terminal gives:
“hildon-application-manager”` terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
gdb maemo-summoner
set args /usr/bin/hildon-application-manager.launch
run
Probable cause per gdb:
- https://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-application-manager/blob/master/src/details.cc#L935
- https://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-application-manager/blob/master/src/main.cc#L498
The problem seems to be that the apt worker doesn't manage to do what is asked of it, I'll debug it more later today.
This is what causes it to crash: https://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-application-manager/blob/927464b6b7aa9656442c638c86dfeadf975d1dde/src/apt-worker.cc#L3498
it seems to delete/free some memory that apt likely uses internally
Fixed via https://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-application-manager/commit/ed2def0fe7151acb0728a3906f25debd206874f2
(to be clear, in chimaera, not in beowulf, so wait for another week or so)
