[Unstable Update] September 2024 Edition

No one should be using packagekit.

And whomever added it to the KDE ISOs again should be given a demerit. :stuck_out_tongue:

( somewhat seriously - I noticed it is included in recent ISO … this should be reviewed )

EDIT.

Looks like for some reason packagekit-qt5 was present, but commented back in 2021, but became uncommented with this commit
KDE 21.1 Pahvo changes (87931518) · Commits · Profiles & Settings / iso-profiles · GitLab
And has been present, also changed to qt6, since then. I have no idea why. It never should have been included.

Further note in case someone needs it…

This means that current systems are likely to have the following packages:

packagekit
packagekit-qt6
libpackagekit-glib

These can/should all be purged.
