why not just
PackageKit-glib-devel PackageKit-glib and PackageKit-qt4 / PackageKit-qt4-devel ?
I don't get the -libs suffix.
Actually in openSUSE, to follow the shared library policy it should be:
PackageKit
libpackagekit4
libpackagekit4-devel
libpackagekit4-qt4
libpackagekit4-qt4-devel
or something similar ( http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Shared_Library_Packaging_Policy )
