As I've mentioned in previous emails to this list, system-config-printers depends on pirut for installing other packages. Specifically, s-c-p calls /usr/bin/system-install-packages to install new print drivers. PackageKit has two helpers like this, pk-install-package and pk-install-file. The former allows a script or program to install "openoffice.org" using the PackageKit daemon (asking PolicyKit auth and resolving the package_id etc.) and the latter allows installing local files such as /tmp/moo-1.23.rpm How do I go about making s-c-p call into PackageKit instead? I'm guessing I have to "provide" /usr/bin/system-install-packages in the PackageKit spec file, and then install a symlink to pk-install-package - this would then leave two packages owning the same file. What's the Fedora way of solving this - maybe alternatives (which might be overkill) or maybe some cleverness in s-c-p?
