Bumping priority, breaking updates for our users is about the worst thing we can do.
i don't understand what Kevin means but you are using incompatibles versions, you need kpackagekit 0.4.1 (which i didn't release yet, hope to do this soon) :P
Hmmm, can we ship some snapshot? The problem is that the Fedora PackageKit maintainer is rushing out PackageKit 0.4.8 as a 0-day update for F11 and so KPackageKit is now broken (currently in updates-testing, but the offending PackageKit update already got queued for the stable updates within a day of reaching testing).
Ok, i'll do the release tomorrow, and later i add more features, i'll start testing things here..
FYI, the Fedora PackageKit update appears to have been blocked for now (karma -3, though there's some Bodhi bug which makes it show up in a weird state). Still, the sooner we can get a KPackageKit which works with the new version, the better (and many thanks for your prompt response).
Daniel, as a rule you should make the client programs compatible with a couple of old versions of the daemon, and generally not break old clients with new packagekit-qt versions. gnome-packagekit can compile with PackageKit 0.4.4 right up to 0.4.8 -- which takes the pressure off distros a bit. You also need to bear in mind that the packagekit-qt library is supposed to be a stable interface with ABI and API guarantees. If you want a hand on how to handle stuff like ABI, just ask and I'll show you what I do with the glib library.
