	Checkout PK master - I'd love more testing, but hopefully it does what
you want.

	If you could compile & install a git checkout of PK, (NB. enable the
zypper backend ( --enable-zypp ) ) - and give it a test, it would be
much appreciated. Don't forget to kill the old packagekitd before
testing the new one ;-)

	Thanks,
