Description of problem: If you move the mouse over a package the name changes. What might be the root cause of this, is that the package name (exact version) is duplicated in the list. The strange mouse over behvior happens on the duplicated entry. When the change happens, it becomes variously the duplicated package, name before or name after. The other thing I have noticed, packages are no longer sorted as they were in previous versions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pirut-1.3.28-1.fc8 How reproducible: Every time. Have seen it in other places besides as how I indicated in the steps below. I suspect where this may also depend on the currently installed packages and what not. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click Add/Remove Software 2. Select Nase System 3. Select System tools 4. Click optional packages 5. Look for Bochs-2.3.5-1.fc8.x86_64 6, You may or may not see the duplicated entry, but running the mouse over the area will cause the duplication and or cause the name to change variously. Actual results: You will probably see a duplicate name in the list. The second one is the one seems to change. I see the name change variously between Bochs, cabextract or catfish. Expected results: Correct listing without duplicates and name changes Additional info:
Reproduced in a vmware guest. Screenshot attached.

I'm wondering if bug 426901 complaining about the same behavior in anaconda is somehow related. I couldn't reproduce that one, though.
Changing hardware to all since my reproducer was done in i386. I just noticed that.
This isn't going to get changed at this point as pirut is pretty much entirely EOL'd and only getting critical fixes for older releases. In Fedora 9 and later, any such concerns can be filed against PackageKit/gnome-packagekit.
