[packagekit] iface.InstallPackageName('openoffice-clipart') did not work

[Adrien BUSTANY]

Hi Adrian
You should call the Introspect method to get the list of the methods. 
IIRC the method to install a package is InstallPackage(s). 
InstallPackages is for the 0.2 API. You might want to try pkmon -vvv or 
dbus-monitor --system to see how gnome-packagekit does it.

Cheers
Adrien
