=== Workaround for this bug until PK 0.7.2 is released ===
Just execute this command to remove the broken plugin:
sudo rm /usr/lib/
This will disable the check for running processes before an update is done too, but usually this shouldn't be a problem.
Hmm... What happens if you run "sudo killall packagekitd && sudo /usr/lib/ packagekit/ packagekitd --verbose" in a terminal?
