Version:           0.4.0 (using KDE 4.2.2)

Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Can't seem to get kpackagekit to install anything via the commandline.

kpackagekit foo.rpm
  => nothing happens ??

This is on Fedora 11,
$ rpm -q PackageKit kpackagekit
PackageKit-0.4.6-8.fc11.x86_64
kpackagekit-0.4.0-6.fc11.x86_64

Hey Rex,
can you please test with the gnome tools(gpk-install-file i think) :D
i'll download a fedora dvd and install it on virtualbox,
cause my dummy tests works :/
Also Trever made some changes there cause
he said it wasn't working.. (he uses fedora)
thanks.

Interesting, gpk-install-local-file does nothing too, at least when gpk-update-icon isn't running.  If gpk-update-icon *is* running, then it works.

I'll do a bit more testing.

A little more output this time:
$ kpackagekit foo.rpm
Object::connect: No such slot KpkInstallFiles::installFiles(KUrl::List &)
Object::connect:  (sender name:   'kpackagekit')

does that help any?

Hmm that's explain EVERYTHING, i thought it was
a bug I found a while ago in my hacks, but i guess
this bug got out before i was doing some hacks :P
Well it should be fixed in the svn version but
it won't compile, i have to commit some fixes first
cause we changed the lib to fix some issues and
my commit is not ready yet.
Hopefully soon i'll release 0.4.1.
Thanks :D
