Yes, I see this too. if you do
sudo /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/update-system.py you should get a
"package downloading foo;bar;baz" for each new download, but don't. Tim

No, I get this when running update-system.py<br>

Sure, that's a backend thing - it's up to the backend to define what

Hmm, I never thought of this. Maybe we need an explicit enum "cleanup"
rather than "removing" when yum is updating. Can yum distinguish the
difference between removing a package, and removing an old version due
to an upgrade?
