The yum command line tool is great for anyone who wants to see more of the guts of package management. However, PackageKit is neither unreliable nor barely communicating in my experience, and I use it most of the time in Fedora. Yum also has bits that allow it to communicate with PackageKit when run on the command line. This system works quite well. -- Paul W.

Several times it has told me graphically about updates and then spewed nonsense errors when told to apply them. Running yum always works. Not figured out why but there is a real bug somewhere. I'm sure Richard Hughes would be interested in hearing about it via a bug filing, and could probably help figure out where to pull out the appropriate info if it recurs. -- Paul W.
