This is with packagekit head:

[root@contemplation src]# yum update

aidan@contemplation:~/hacking/rum[ruck]/src$ ./rum lu (<-- this calls GetUpdates)

Repository | Name     | Version                  
-----------+----------+--------------------------
fedora     | gtkhtml2 | 2.19.1-4.fc8             
installed  | kernel   | 2.6.23-0.115.rc3.git1.fc8
fedora     | powertop | 1.8-1.fc8                

I have no idea why it's pulling in fc8 packages...

It looks like you are running with the dummy backend, not the yum backend. Note: if you start PackageKit using "sudo ./run-pk.sh" then by default the dummy backend is started. You need to use "sudo ./run-pk.sh yum" to start a specific backend, or start packagekitd with no arguments, and then the config file is used. Look in backends/dummy/pk-backend-dummy.c for those F8 packages :-)
