Source: gnome-packagekit Severity: normal For the Jessie release, we are going to drop update-manager and update-notifier from Debian. For this, we need gnome-packagekit to provide a transition path.
I have attached an early patch. It would be good to discuss this further on IRC. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.8-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
