Upon reboot of a an updated F8 system to rawhide, pirut-1.3.28-1.fc8 is still installed. PackageKit is nowhere to be found, and attempts to install gnome-packagekit end with file conflicts with the old pirut. No mention of pirut in the upgrade.log, not really sure how to get more debugging info.
Ah, this is due to pirut not being on the compose media, thus there is no update for it. Reassigning.
pirut is obsoleted by PackageKit now and no longer in the distro. closing
