You'd use the PackageKit GLib library from the gi repository, like in the second link. This requires gir1.2-packagekitglib to be installed. That example then works, with both packagekit and gir1.2-packagekitglib installed. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
