You'll also have to move the file kde-org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service to kde-org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service.bak in the /usr/share/dbus-1/services directory if you have kde installed. This will have to be done every time PackageKit is updated, but that isn't all that often. I keep PackageKit around because even though I like to do my updates from the command line in a virtual console, I keep Gnome around, and it is an integral part of Gnome. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
