Re: Packagekit spamming syslog

[Kenneth Parker <sea7kenp@gmail.com>]

You might want to bring this up, on the Packagekit email list:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit

(Note:  I am not a Packagekit expert.  I got this from the Debian Wiki Page on Packagekit).

Can someone please explain why PackageKit needs to update so often, and
maybe how to tame it.

Thanks,
