Description of problem: It seems to be after a reboot and logging in, PackageKit will search for /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-17-06 but won't offer to install a new package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.3.12-1.fc10.x86_64 udev-127-3.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot 2. Login to user account Actual results: PackageKit keeps searching over and over for the firmware after reboots Expected results: PackageKit offers to install an extra package or stops searching for the firmware Additional info: As discussed on IRC, the problem could be because PK is searching for the wrong file (/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-17-06 instead of /lib/firmware/microcode.dat).
