[packagekit] slapt backend

[Daniel Nicoletti]

Your error is about DBus not being able to run packagekit, check the
files installed in /usr/shar/dbus...
and if the packagekit file installed there has the right (full) path
to the packagekitd executable.

about moving to 0.8 should be quite easy, if you have questions paste here or
reach us on #packagekit at freenode :)

Best,
