Description giowck 2012-01-12 00:41:52 UTC 
OS: Archlinux x64
packagekit: 0.6.19-1

I found this bug on Apper/Kpackagekit, but this affects also other packagekit frontends (pkcon)... so I think it is a backend-pacman fault...

If there are more provider for a package, Apper/Other does nothing after clicking apply changes, and the pacman lock file is not freed (need to rm it manually).

For example installing eclipse, here we have 2 jdk providers:
:: There are 2-Provider for java-environment:
:: Repository extra
   1) jdk7-openjdk  2) openjdk6

Could you contact the PackageKit-pacman developers and get them to look at this problem please? I have zero experience with pacman.

I think you either want to talk to either Jonathan Conder <jonno.conder_at_gmail_dot_com> or Valeriy Lyasotskiy <onestep_at_ukr_dot_net>

Thanks,

Richard.

Here is a fix. I'll put up a new package soon. I can't believe this hasn't cropped up earlier!
