Comment 11 for bug 561012

This is a bug in the PackageKit version Ubuntu uses.
There was a Listaller bug too which was a consequence of the PackageKit bug and has been fixed in the last commit. The API changes have been applied on every Listaller module.
The problem with PackageKit remains.
I executed the same commands on a brand-new Fedora 12 machine and everything worked just fine.
Packagekitd gived the following verbose output:
