There are plenty of reasons to cherry pick packages and not just because of broken repositories. Sometimes I am on a low bandwidth connection and want to pick the small but high impact updates for example.

I also think an option to "Automatic skip packages with problems" would be nice to have. I know that one of idea behind pk, it to makes tool there can be used by novice users, but what about the rest of the user, should they be forced to use a cli to get thinks done. it is possible to design tools there fit novice user and the rest too,  especially  if a tool the default update tool in a distro, then it should fit as many distro users as possible.  maybe a swich like "Enable advandced option",  could enable/disable advanced option, there might confuse the novice users. I have made some improvements to the current yum version i rawhide, that makes i possible to return the packages there get skipped, when skip-broken is used, this can be used to signal to packagekit what has been skipped. So it could be presented to the users. Tim </body> </html>
