So there are no packages in releases/12/Everything that have
privilege
escalation bugs? All I have to do is wait for one to be found, and I
have a signed path to root. Even if the package is fixed in updates, I
just have to have a custom updates repo without it.
No, that won't work either. In PackageKit parlance "installing a
package" is installing a package that does not already exist on the
computer. You can't downgrade (or upgrade) packages using the
PackageKit InstallPackages() method.
