Using last code of jhbuild from git, using fedora 18 test updates and all already updated.

Comment 2 Zeeshan Ali 2012-09-23 14:35:40 UTC

I'm facing the same problem on my system after upgrading to F18.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2012-09-23 14:54:17 UTC

The problem here is that packagekit api changed.

systeminstall.py: Support PackageKit 0.8.1 and newer

Adapt to API changes in PackageKit 0.8.1, but still support
older PackageKit by catching exceptions and trying
the old API.
