It sounds like you're using 0.2.x -- those demos were designed for 0.3.0
-- the development code. If I were you I would checkout the packagekit
git repo, and checkout the PACKAGEKIT_0_2_X branch if you're not happy
upgrading to 0.3.0 pre-release code:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/packagekit/PackageKit
git checkout PACKAGEKIT_0_2_X

And then look at client/pk-console.c

What distro are you using? I can send you a 0.3.0 SRPM if that's easier.

If you can jump on #PackageKit on freenode I can help you get started.
