Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

When I click on a .deb package to install it, I get an error where two error dialogs show up; the first saying:
  "Unknown error - ..."
  Unknown error, please rep...
  More information is availab...
(with a details button)

And the second dialog:
  "KPackageKit"
  Sorry, an error occurred
shows on top, and closes both dialogs when I click OK, thus preventing me from clicking the details button in the underneath dialog to see what the actual error was. I think I know what the problem is, but the point is that the error message should be readable.

Using 9.04 beta with kpackagekit version 0.4-0ubuntu4.
