[packagekit] error on remove/install

[Ken VanDine]

Another problem... I admit I haven't built a snapshot of PK in about a
week.  Trying to test this I noticed a couple things.  One, the toolbar
is gone... i guess that is by design.  When I do a search and select a
package, I get errors popping up about getFiles and getRequires aren't
supported by the backend.  If the backend doesn't provide that, the UI
should be calling it at all.  After closing the dialogs, I don't see a
"Remove" button/action... Is that by design?
