Title:
  packagekit daemon crashed from Discover. Requires a manual 'dpkg
  --configure -a' to correct.

Status in PackageKit:
  New
Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The packagekit package has just been updated by discover (Kubuntu) from 1.1.7-1 to 1.1.7-1ubuntu0.1.
  Discover reported that the packagekit daemon had crashed.

  The resulting dpkg status is:

  and apt-get upgrade reports:

  root at parent:~# apt-get upgrade
  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. 

  Running that command does tidy things up, but the daemon should not
  crash.
