<summary>Provides a package management service</summary>

<description>
<p>
PackageKit allows performing simple software management tasks over a DBus interface e.g. refreshing the cache,
updating, installing and removing software packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.
</p>
<p>
The work is done by backends which make use of the package manager shipped by the corresponding distribution.
Its main benefits are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Unified developer and user interface on many distributions</li>
<li>Fine-grained permission control via PolicyKit</li>
<li>On-demand installation of missing system components</li>
</ul>
