Hello Martin,
I'm too glad to hear that the latest update solved all (?) your
problems
with kpackagekit. With the same versions installed I still experience,
like Rex, crashes. Could you please give some more information about your
specific installation?
This is an old F10 system which I tried to upgrade to F12
before Christmas.
However, when using preupgrade I ran into problems as my raid 1 disks were not
recognized properly. So I wiped all but home and made a fresh install of F12.
Thus I have a new install but with the config-files from F10 in my home
directory.
For instants, what yum packages do you have installed (rpm -qa
*yum*)
[jan@oden ~]$ rpm -qa|grep yum
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-14.fc12.x86_64
PackageKit-yum-0.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64
yum-updatesd-0.9-3.fc12.noarch
yum-3.2.25-1.fc12.noarch
anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-5.fc12.noarch
PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64
yum-utils-1.1.24-2.fc12.noarch

Do you have some gnome related packages installed? Or ...?
I
do not use Gnome but I have some libraries (required by PageStream which I use
a lot) and also some programs as installed even when I tried to deselect as much
as possible during package selection.

What do you have in the config file KPackageKit in
~/.kde/share/config or maybe in other relevant config files?
When the problems
with kpackagekit started I erased my
/home/jan/.kde/share/config/KPackageKit file and a new was created next time I
started kpackagekit. It's very minimalistic:
[CheckUpdate]
interval=86400
[FilterMenu]
FilterNewest=0
ViewInGroups=false
[KpkMainUi]
Height 1200=1171
Width 1920=837
[Notify]
notifyUpdates=2
[ReviewChangesDialog]
Height 1200=280
Width 1920=320
[Transaction]
ShowDetails=true
[requirementsDialog]

Can you add your successful experiences to bug #551500, see [1]?
Done.
Good luck!
