gnome-packagekit-2.30.2-1.fc13 is not able to install any package collection. Select the package, apply selection, gpk-application starts and seems to run, but after a second it stops, the package is selected to be aplied again. Is there any way to do this through the CLI? Thanks for your help, Pablo

Reinstalling didn't help. This workaround worked for me: [root@LIN2 Mikey]# yum remove PackageKit gnome-packagekit Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit ... Complete! [root@LIN2 Mikey]# yum install PackageKit gnome-packagekit Loaded plugins: presto Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies .... Complete! Add/Remove now works correctly.
I'm seeing the same behaviour in F14 (late in the F14 Alpha timeframe). I've got gnome-packagekit-2.31.91-2.fc14.x86_64 installed. I haven't tried uninstalling and re-installing PackageKit yet.

I'm getting this problem in a fresh F13 install, but may have found a cause. It seems that (for me, at least) the "Educational Software" meta-package is failing. No error message is given by the GUI, but if I run gpk-application -v then select the Education package, and click "Apply", the CLI returns the following: - failed to install packages: could not do simulate: No packages were found in the education group for education-()meta. If I select multiple packages, including the Education package, the described behaviour occurs. Deselecting the Education package causes the software to behave as expected.
Further research suggests this is probably a duplicate of Bug 589119.
