I am having some issues with packagekit. I downloaded the 0.5.4 version and compiled it (btw it told me i needed cppunit and there was no mention of it on the dependencies in the web site, but that is not the problem). I only set the prefix in the ./configure to /usr and nothing else. As i am working on Nova (Gentoo based) it told me that the available backend was portage (which is fine for now, yet i have rpm installed also... ¿should it not be able to use some other backend?) make && make install worked smoothly, yet, when i try to run packagekitd darion-laptop darion # packagekitd --daemonize --verbose TI:15:40:43.271    FI:../../src/egg-debug.c    FN:egg_debug_init,314  - Verbose debugging 1 (on console 1)PK_VERBOSE later on i try pkcon and this is what i get darion-laptop darion # pkcon Failed to contact PackageKit: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 is there something wrong? do i need to do something i am not doing? Is there documentation anywhere about it? I would like to add that we (the Nova crew) are planning our next version (for late 2010) to use rpm and packagekit for the package management system. These issues I describe above are related to the study we are currently developing in that order. Greetings, D.H. Bahr </body> </html>
