You say "the package manager" - which package manager?
I'm not able to reproduce what you're reporting with zypper or YaST, example below:
The following package is going to be upgraded: libquicktime0
1 package to upgrade. Overall download size: 0 B. Already cached: 189.0 KiB. No additional space will be used or freed after the operation. Continue? [y/n/...? shows all options] (y): y In cache libquicktime0-1.2.4cvs20150223-13.1.x86_64.rpm (1/1), 189.0 KiB (565.3 KiB unpacked) Checking for file conflicts: ............................................................................ .......[done] (1/1) Installing: libquicktime0-1.2.4cvs20150223-13.1.x86_64 ...................................................[done]
The package manager which is present as an icon in the system tray of a Plasma desktop. I assume this is the front-end of the package PackageKit.

I can confirm that packagekit behaves fine (logs below) Therefore I have two theories 1- A bug that is specific to KDE's wrapper around PackageKit - it's theoretically possible Plasma's frontend is doing something stupid 2- User error - are you sure you didn't have any other rpm tools accessing the database at the time? zypper?
