Bug Description
Binary package hint: kpackagekit
By convention the apt backend doesn't allow to install packages which require the removal of other packages before, since PackageKit only has got a PolicyKit privilege for removing or installing packages. There is no way currently to check if the removal privilege was also granted to the installing user.
Original posting:
My system is Kubuntu alpha 6 and have already installed all the available updates.
When i was trying to install amule from Kpackagekit, I found out that it can't handle package dependency as well as Adept. It told me that a package dependency could not be found and told me to remove the package libgd2-noxpm. Then I tried to remove libgd2-noxpm and recieved another dependency failure saying that Error removing libgd2-noxpm: E:Error, pkgProblemResol
P.S. I can install amule by sudo apt-get install amule without any problem.

I can't seem to reproduce on my own...
