Description

Runs PackageKit, a system service that gives applications a common way to install, remove, and update packages. Desktop software centers and update tools can use it instead of talking directly to each package manager.

Use it when graphical package management or desktop update integration needs PackageKit. Because it can trigger package changes, permissions and backend configuration should be handled carefully.

How to run

packagekit.service
