Description of problem:
I tried to install the rpmfusion repositories by browsing to http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
and clicking on the relevant links to install the packages directly via packagekit. Since I'm using kde as default workspace, the tool proposed to open the file is "apper". When I click ok to install the file, it pops up an error message:
could not resolve: file:///tmp/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

I have checked, the rpm referred to is really in /tmp. So for some reason apper can't decode the "file" uri.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apper-0.7.1-0.4.20111021.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a clean Fedora installation, install default kde workspace.
2. Start Firefox and browse to http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
3. Click on one of the installation links
4. Be sure that apper is chosen to install this file
5. When apper asks if you want to install the file, click ok

Actual results:
Apper shows an error message: "Failed to install file"
"The query is not valid."
"Could not resolve: file:///tmp/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm"

The file referred to is available in /tmp though.

Expected results:
Normal successful installation.

Additional info:
I'm using firefox. For reference, these are the links I tried to download, and for which firefox proposed to open them with apper:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Apper version:
