Unless my memory's wrong, I found it several months ago, verified it 
with others on the fedorafourm and we all dealt with it.  I'm guessing 
that it got fixed because at least one of the people who were involved 
in that thread found that (at that time) it was still an issue in 
Rawhide and got it fixed.  In fact, now that I think about it, one of 
them queried the maintainer for PackageKit and was told that preupgrade 
was needed to check for upgrades so that might be where the word was 
passed on.  I found it by accident, when I tried to remove preupgrade 
because there didn't seem to be any reason to have it installed if it's 
been replaced by fedup.
