Title:
  High trust packages/repository doesn't work with PK interface

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “aptdaemon” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed
Status in “aptdaemon” source package in r-series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The transaction needs to be simulated before the mechanism which
  chooses the alternative high trust package installation privilege for
  a transaction.

  It is ok for a distro patch to call the core.Transaction._simulate()
  method in the pkcompat as a workaround. Software-center simulates the
  transaction before running it, so it is not affected by this bug.

  After the quantal release a small code reorganizsation should happen
  which calls the core.Transaction._simulate() mehtod before
  core.Transaction._check_auth() instead of in core.Queue.put() though.
