Public bug reported:
While attempting to play a video on Ubuntu noble desktop for raspberry
pi, totem attempts to locate a package for the H.264 codec but cannot
find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. This is strange
given that packagekit is installed, provides packagekit.service, which
declares that it provides that name over DBus. Specifically, the
following is output by totem:
** Message: 21:13:39.000: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|MPEG-4 AAC
decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, level=(string)4,
base-profile=(string)lc, profile=(string)lc (MPEG-4 AAC decoder)
** Message: 21:13:39.000: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|H.264 (Main

The packagekit.service is defined as:
$ systemctl cat packagekit.service
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit.service
[Unit]
Description=PackageKit Daemon
# PK doesn't know how to do anything on ostree-managed systems;
# currently the design is to have dedicated daemons like
# eos-updater and rpm-ostree, and gnome-software talks to those.
ConditionPathExists=!/run/ostree-booted
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.PackageKit
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/packagekitd
And just to demonstrate packagekit is actually running:
$ systemctl status packagekit.service
