You may look at this page: http://packagekit.org/pk-intro.html Basically, PackageKit allows applications to interact with the package manager without knowing exactly what it is (yum, apt, zypper etc.). It basically provides those advantages: * Boot time security updates * Installing files automatically, e.g. openoffice-clipart * Installing new features, e.g. smart-card readers * Allowing unprivileged users to install software in a corporate build * Opening unknown file formats * Removing dependencies for files It also has a lot of other benefits, check our Richard Hughes summary on the pkit website.
