What versions PackageKit and gnome-packagekit?
gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-5.20080416git.fc9.x86_64 PackageKit-libs-0.1.12-4.20080416git.fc9.x86_64 PackageKit-0.1.12-4.20080416git.fc9.x86_64
Did it ask you for the admin password? Can you give me some more details pls?
It doesn't ask for any password, as I login as root.
You shouldn't login as root. PackageKit just won't work like that - it's designed as a user tool. GTK was never designed to be run as the root user.
We should probably at least catch this case, since, despite all warnings, some people will still run X as root.
Fixed in PK: ef4c2d59397061ae594cd064b5ff6f12f7a11689 and GPK: 5e219c28a48bd75127cc0ee83723869b7b0bbef8 Want me to backport to stable?
Would be nice to see it in F9 (I don't understand what do you mean by stable)
Okay, we'll be getting 0.2.0 in F9 in a few weeks, so I'll mark it NEXTRELEASE.
