Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.PackageKit

[W00ster]

Every time I run apt-get, the following message is shown and I can not find out what to do to resolve it:

"Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.PackageKit timed out"

Not sure what the implications are of this timeout or if it has any implications at all but I;d like to figure out how to resolve it and I can not find anything useful by Googling either.

I have it too, but don't know any solution...
Somebody can help us?

I use Kubuntu 11.10.

=== Workaround for this bug until PK 0.7.2 is released ===
Just execute this command to remove the broken plugin:
sudo rm /usr/lib/packagekit-plugins/libpk_plugin-update-check-processes.so
This will disable the check for running processes before an update is done too, but usually this shouldn't be a problem.
