I'm running into this problem - but packagekit is NOT installed. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 6000 with Intrepid Ibex

Description: provides a software installation daemon
PackageKit allows to perform simple software management tasks over a DBus
interface e.g. refreshing the cache, updating, installing and removing software
packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.
The work is done by backends which make use of the package manager shipped by
the corresponding distribution. PackageKit is not meant to replace advanced
tools like Synaptic.
The main benefits are:
* unified interface on several distributions
* fine grained privilleges by using PolicyKit
* independecy from a running desktop session during the processing
