Hi to all.

Im a foresight developer doing some task for fix the conary backend on
packagekit.

On the git version the backend are very buggy! some commands not works.
Im devel and debugg the backend and fix it .

Ken Vandine are noticed  of this. But not a guru of PackageKit have some
  task what not help me.

For example on the backend doing a:
python conaryBackend.py update-packages
"pastebinit;0.7-1-1;x86;/foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-qa/1222042924.172:0.7-1-1,1#x86"

the conary update the package Perfthout problems

But with packagekit.

$ ./pkcon update  pastebinit
Command failed:  This tool could not update 'pastebinit': Internal
error: Operation not yet supported by backend

Here the log of packagekitd.

http://dpaste.com/90666/

at line 155 the package is found and get the id .... using the method
resolve of conaryBackend.py

then make a error what not understand...

- WhatProvides method called: any, pastebinit
- Not implemented yet: WhatProvides

The method whatprovides are not present on conary backend, so this need
coded ? or exist other task to do ? What exactly whatprovides do ? whats
the ouput need for this method ?

The Method  update-package ( at dispatcher.command as update_packages )
never executed. Why not ???
