My impact attempts in packages (nautilus with the thumbnails and a few others) have till this day gone without any result.

They are not duplicates. How does PK know if you want > the 32bit or the 64bit version of a package? well.. i have the 64 bit os so install and show the 64 bit packages that are available in 64 bit. if not then show me 32 bit (with a notice that 64 bit is not available) > >> I don't have anything called: "Authorizations" in the >> System->Administration menu. > > my mistake System->Preference->System->Authorizations Found it and changed the policy.
