Great to know, thanks! When I wrote the email I hadn't noticed that Jonathan Riddell \
had asked about pretty much the same thing a couple of days ago on \
packagekit@lists.freedesktop.org.

I actually found out about QPackageKit from browsing the git repositories on \
FreeDesktop.org as opposed to kde-apps, but the naming of that git repo seems to \
indicate that it's outdated:  \
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/hughsient/QPackageKit.old

I'm afraid I don't have Lenny installed, and I haven't tried compiling QPackageKit on \
my laptop, which is still running Ubuntu 7.04 :)
