I have been trying to use kpackagekit in place of yast for managing software in 11.4, and I have noticed that it seems to not do anywhere near as well resolving conflicts. For instance the updater does not seem exclude conflicting updates like YaST does. Rather than reporting the conflict and letting you handle it, or skipping the packages that can't be updated, it just fails. It seems a bit strange, I thought packagekit was just a front-end for zypper. Is this expected behavior?
Some voodoo patching was done to our PackageKit-zypp backend which tries to show both packages and patches (PackageKit has no concept of patches) and which short-circuits the zypp solver logic with its own. On my todo to fix.
It also won't let me ignore signature problems with repositories like YaST does, which prevents me from using the factory packman repo.
