[packagekit] Packagekit and Ubuntu

[Jean Hubbard]

Hello,

I recently submitted a bug report requesting that Ubuntu Software Store(AppCenter) use/be based on Packagekit instead of gnome-app-install. Pretty much replace packagekit-gnome with this AppCenter thing i guess.

The response i got from Michael Vogt was

" Thanks for your bugreport. 

We would love to use packagekit, but it does not support debconf or conffile prompting. We attempted to contribute those missing features and unfortunately they were not accepted on the ground that a packagekit transaction can not be interrupted (for something like debconf or conffile handling). This is a important feature for us and without it, e.g. sun-java packages do not install."


So what i would like to know is, if this may may be possible in a future release of PK or what?


Thanks
Jean
