What is the purpose of running packagekit peridoically at all? I have killed the process a few times, for the benefit of zypper and yast. Any are there any expected downsides of not running packagekit?

It is probably the updater applet (the icon in your taskbar) which runs packagekit to check for available upadtes. You can configure it to run with any period you like, or you can disable it completely. There are no downsides of not running packagekit (apart from not being automatically informed about available updates). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
