Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Currently software/package management in KDE is limited to kpackage which is replaced in almost all distributions by the distribution specific tools. The same is true for other DEs like Gnome and XFCE, btw. The Project PackageKit [1] tries to solve this problem by abstracting away the used backends and providing a single API for a given frontend. Despite other advantages like asynchronous operations and non-locking of the backend with PackageKit it becomes possible to provide a single GUI integrated with a DE to manage all simple tasks around software management (updates, installation, query, etc.). Therefore I would like to see PackageKit integrated into KDE to provide a "Phonon of the software managers". A GNOME interface already exists, several backends (conary, yum, apt, box, alpm) are already supported (with others like emerge or libzypp in work) and PackageKit itself is designed around D-Bus and therefore fits to the general idea of today's sdesktop software design. If PackageKit would be integrated KDE would have a very useful replacement for kpackage. [1] http://www.packagekit.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

There already exists PackageKit's integration for KDE4. KpackageKit[1] , according to what kpackagekit developers said[2] it will likely by submitted to KDE-svn. All people interested in Bug 149968 should test Kpackagekit and give feedback to developers :) In site linked under [2] you can see a lot of screenshots, this application is really in a good state now. regards [1] http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KPackageKit?content=84745 [2] http://polishlinux.org/kde/kpackagekit-interview/

@wendigo, if this crash still exist on fresk kde packages (4.2.1) then please submit _another_ bug to kde bugzilla if there is section for kpackagekit.
KPackage was recently removed from KDE SC (since 4.4 beta2) as it was completely broken and unmaintained. Most of the common GNU/Linux distributions offer their own tools to deal with packages, and KDE is working on an universal package manager replacement named "Shaman" (to superseed KPackageKit) Closing the KPackage's bug reports as UNMAINTAINED.
