We tried to push PackageKit some years ago but required changes have been rejected. That is why I started aptdaemon and the project has grown in the last years and provides a high integration nowadays. Other benefits of aptdaemon are which come to my mind are: * written in Python as a lot of other system tools (software-center, software-properties, language-selector ...) allowing to easily share code and infrastructure * test suite * stable history and maintainership * terminal/debconf/conffile support * apport integration * code of good quality * plugins The plugins allow: * to modify the resolver. E.g. the language-selector plugin installs the corresponding kde translations if you install a KDE application in an Unity or GNOME desktop environment * to install license keys * to add what provides types (see above) This is mostly done for maintaining reasons and to avoiding to many hard dependencies in aptdaemon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007249 Title: Trying to install packagekit on quantal uninstalls ubuntu-desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/1007249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
