Description of problem:

PackageKit-cron emails me even when it doesn't upgrade anything.  Every morning I get email with an attachment called "noname", saying

$ cat downloads/noname
Updating system               [=========================]         
Waiting for authentication    [=========================]         
Starting                      [=========================]         
Downloading repository information[=========================]         
Running                       [=========================]         
The transaction failed: no-packages-to-update, Nothing to do

Surely *not* updating anything shouldn't result in an email.  Shouldn't the fact that it ran be in /var/log/messages, and that's it?  I can maybe see getting email if packages where updated, but not when they aren't.  Even said email option though should have a switch in /etc/sysconfig/packagekit-background to be completely silent.  Having hundreds of machines all emailing when an update comes out can itself be overwhelming.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I have PackageKit-cron-0.5.4-0.3.20091029git.fc12.x86_64 installed
