Apper
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Apper is the KDE interface for PackageKit (aka KPackageKit)
Apper is able to manage packages, applications and updates in a cross-distribution way thanks to the PackageKit project. Providing Linux users a single application that they can learn and use in whatever distribution they are.
Hope you enjoy Apper, and please report bugs, make wishes so we can improve this application.
BUGS goes to bugs.kde.org

Apper itself can do nothing without PackageKit.
So have it installed before.

I'm using it as a frontend for pacman the package manager of Archlinux and it works great!
However, when Apper shows me the packages with updates in the repository, only the new version on the server is shown. Is it possible to also show the version that is currently installed on my computer? Maybe as an additional column in the list?
Cheers

Having results come up in apper would be nice though, because you can click, browse, get detailed info, and install using nice GUI. :)

apper ./google-earth-stable_current_i386.rpm
This doesn't work, but this works:
pkcon install-local ./google-earth-stable_current_i386.rpm
By investigating on the backend (smart) it seems to me that it is not its fault, because it is not getting the package(s) file name as install-files option. pkcon works, so I tried to investigate on Apper but I realized that the problem might as well be in libpackagekit-qt2. Thanks for any help.

I've confirmed this to happen on both Kororaa 17 and OpenSuSE 12.1 so it most likely isn't distro-specific. If I switch the widget style back to Oxygen, Apper returns to its normal functionality, but then swapping to QTCurve again causes it to reoccur. A fix for this would be great :D
