Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2008-05-28 15:00:32 EDT

This is because we don't run with threads (because threads + rpmdb access has
some significant downsides and risks of corruption).  gnome-packagekit in Fedora
9 works around this differently.  Not relaly going to make any pirut changes at
this point for it
