Details

Description:

it seems like the following needs to be changed:
PK_BACKEND_DEFAULT_CACHEDIR = $(localstatedir)/cache/pacman/pkg
to
PK_BACKEND_DEFAULT_CACHEDIR = $(localstatedir)/cache/pacman/pkg/


problem was solved by editing /etc/PackageKit/alpm.d/pacman.conf
adding: CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

use packagekit to install packages

this is there for a long time yet, just didnt notice it before


# pwd
/var/cache/pacman

#ls
pkg pkgkdegames-libkdegames-4.6.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz pkgogmrip-0.13.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Nice catch, thanks! I sometimes wondered why I seemed to be downloading packages I already had in the cache. I'll upload a new package soon
