Ok so i the reason it wasnt finding anything is because Packagekit wasnt
set to use Smart in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf.
This should really be documented in the FAQ or something. I only picked
up on this after researching in Google and it popped from a old openSUSE
or Mandriva forum thread.
It seems like Update System is working. Havent got any errors but i also
dont think there have been any updates. Im using Jaunty at the moment to
test this.
As for Add/Remove, the lists are there on the left hand side and everything
appears correct until i try to search for a package.
Then i get this error:
An internal system error has occurred:
Error Type: <class 'smart.Error'>
Error Value: 'rpm' python module is not available

I have no idea why its asking for 'rpm' stuff?
I think this is now a smart issue, not a duplicate.
