<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I would like <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com" target="_blank">bugzilla.redhat.com</a> to know what is consider deficient in the latest packagekit. You probably mean gpk-application, the GNOME frontend to packagekit since packagekit is just a library and not directly comparable to synaptic. Moreover, apt-rpm and synaptic are already available in the Fedora repo and switching distributions for it doesn't make much sense for this reason.
