The yum command line tool is great for anyone who wants to see more of the guts of package management. However, PackageKit is neither unreliable nor barely communicating in my experience, and I use it most of the time in Fedora. Yum also has bits that allow it to communicate with PackageKit when run on the command line. This system works quite well. -- Paul W.
