Reproduce Procedure:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/ltsp/beta1/i686/
Install F9 + updates as of early August from this Live image.
Update to PackageKit and fedora-release from:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/updates/f9-updates.jktest/
Minor Bug...
1) Two PK icons in the tray after upgrade to PackageKit-0.2.5.
(Inconsistent.)
Pretty serious bug...
2) Red and white dialog box tells me there are security updates available.
* Click "Install All Updates". Walk away for 30 minutes.
* When I get back, I see a pop-up asking if I want to import the key.
Yes/No. I click Yes.
* It asks for the root password. I type the root password.
* It pops up again asking if I want to import the key. I click Yes.
*
PackageKit Error
The install task could not be requeued

* At this point it appears that PK failed, but it is actually updating
packages in the background while the dialog shows a failure and the
other dialog makes it appear that it finished.
Some kind of PolicyKit timeout? It isn't fatal, but it is very
confusing and a user is likely to do something stupid because they are
not aware that the update is still going in the background.
