Summary:
C: Provides a package management service
Description:
C: >-
<p>PackageKit allows performing simple software management tasks over a D-Bus interface e.g. refreshing the cache, updating, installing
and removing software packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.</p>
<p>The work is done by backends which make use of the package manager shipped by the corresponding distribution. Its main
benefits are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unified developer and user interface on many distributions</li>
<li>Fine-grained permission control via PolicyKit</li>
<li>On-demand installation of missing system components</li>
</ul>
