PCM: Applying Package Changes window locks up app

Description

When installing or uninstalling plugins/themes in the PCM the "Applying Package Changes" window appears, everything runs successfully, but the window can not be closed. Other windows can be interacted with.

Trying to close the main PCM window prompts "are you sure you want to close? Pending changes may not be applied". The main PCM window will close, but the "applying package changes window" persists.

Eventually (after maybe 60s) the spinning beachball appears, and no interaction can be had with any kicad windows and the whole app must be force quit.

This is a super fresh install, I just received this M1 macbook pro and there are few other programs installed. First time installing KiCad on this machine.

Thanks!!!!!!! KiCad is looking amazing these days!

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install or uninstall package
  2. Press "Apply Pending Changes" button
