[packagekit] Problem running example from FAQ

[Dorian Perkins]

Hello again,

So I have another question now. In reference to the example at hand, the FAQ
mentions:

"

The methods available on this interface are:

   - InstallPackageName("openoffice-clipart")
   - InstallProvideFile("/usr/share/fonts/sarai/Sarai_07.ttf")
   - InstallLocalFile("/home/dave/Desktop/lirc-0.6.6-4.rhfc1.dag.i686.rpm")
   - InstallMimeType("application/x-rpm")
   - InstallFont("lang(en_GB)")

"

However, I'd like to do other tasks such as EnableRepo() and GetRepoList(),
etc. How can I do this? Am I approaching this the wrong way?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Dorian
