I would like to request a transition to PackageKit 0.8.x
The original source package of PackageKit contained two libraries,
libpackagekit-glib2 and libpackagekit-qt2, with the new 0.8.x release, the Qt
version was split out to a separate source package.
Reverse dependencies of libpackagekit-glib2:
gnome-settings-daemon
listaller-devtools
listaller
liblistaller-glib0
indicator-session
gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-packagekit-tools
gnome-packagekit-session
gnome-packagekit
(listaller, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-packagekit, indicator-session)
Reverse dependencies of libpackagekit-qt2-2:
apper
All dependencies have already been prepared in Experimental. (only about
indicator-session I am not sure...)
GNOME stuff >= 3.6 just needs a simple rebuild to work with the new PK. All
other packages are adjusted to work with the new version in their recent
versions in Experimental. Indicator-session might also only need a binNMU.
The new PackageKit also changed it's DBus API, so software which accesses the
DBus API without one of the PK libraries might break temporarily during the
transition.
Kind regards,
Matthias Klumpp
