Hi,

I'm trying latest PK 0.5.6. As a background info in case you didn't know, PK
implemented a new glib wrapper API called package-glib2 or just glib2 and
this
glib2 implementation become default one since PK 0.5.3(released early
Oct,2009). But zypp backend for PK is still based old glib API so I can't
even build it if I didn't enable legacy glib API. So I implemented a patch
attached to use glib2 API in zypp backend, which is actually not difficult,
basically most of them involves using new PackageID(gchar*) rather than a
structure. Please help review.

Patch looks pretty good except for I would use the #defined constants to access
the various parts instead of hardcoding array indexes like "sections[1]". Also
just re-adding the method that was dropped probably would not fly upstream.
You can grab the commits I made in the 0.6 branch to work with the new API and
they should backport easily to 0.5.
