If you get error messages of the following kind: " E: Encountered a section with no Package: header. ..." Do the following: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf sudo apt-get update It worked for me!

if you are in a situation where you want to install software using packagekit but nothing happens or you see a message that it is "waiting in queue" forever try the following which worked for me: Open terminal as root and type: pkcon refresh yum-complete-transaction this will let yum complete it's unfinished business and then packagekit will get back to life. Good luck
