Package: packagekit
Version: 1.1.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

i have noticed my machine seeks for package updates w/o being  ask for it.
I suspect packagekit being at fault.

The problem here with this is, cron jobs for updating are made to not hammer
servers all _at once_. Instead they implement a randomisation in start times
to circumvent that.
packagekit (as is supect) in stet circumvent this randomisation and there for
hammer mirror servers.


kind regards,

     Thilo

Thanks for investigating this and reporting back! That's great help!
In general, PackageKit isn't doing anything on its own, there is
always some tool requesting an action and triggering PK to do
something - so this kind of issue is rarely the fault of PK.

Cheers,
