Kpackages says it is downloading packages when it's really updating the package list

[Scott Kitterman]

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

As you can see in the attached screen shot, when kpackagekit is refreshing it's cache it describes this as "Downloading packages". This is also the tooltip for the systray icon. This is very confusing for the user.

Initially I was quite concerned because I have not set kpackagekit up to install/download anything.

It says "Downloading Repository Information" in 0.5.4.

This bug was fixed in the package kpackagekit - 0.5.4-0ubuntu2

---------------
kpackagekit (0.5.4-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt)
  * Don't use the quilt dh addon. It was causing an FTBFS since there wasn't
    a build-depend on quilt and with source format 3.0 we don't need it
  * Remove unnecessary build-depend on cdbs
  * Bump build-depend version of pkg-kde-tools to support the earliest version
    that included the kde dh addon (0.5.0)
  * Bump required version of libpackagekit-qt-dev to 0.5.5 as specified by
    CMakeLists.txt
  * Bump the binary package's packagekit dependency to 0.5.5 as well
  * Replace dependency on kdebase-workspace-bin with polkit-kde-1, as it needs
    the polkit-1 stuff now
  * Bugs fixed in 0.5.x:
