Even worse, it seems a malicious app could ship a broken service file
and with that corrupt the database.

Title:
  Service cache doesn't update as services change

Status in “libaccounts-glib” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  libaccounts-glib caches the list of current services inside its SQLite database, along with some basic information about the service (including the provider ID).
  However, if a .service file changes its <provider> element, libaccounts-glib does not detect the change and still keeps the outdated information in its DB.

  One possible solution for this is to add a function like
  ag_account_manager_rebuild_cache() which re-reads all the .service
  files, and invoke this function from our "account-service" hook
  program.
