 I tried running pkcon update on my my freerunner.

 It displayed many lines of installing packages, then suddenly quit when it
 got to openmoko-community-repository :

 ...
 installing   openmoko-common2-0.1.0+svnr3259-r0   [===============] (74%)
 installing   openmoko-community-repository-1.0-r0.01[               ]
 (74%)
 The daemon crashed mid-transaction!

 I did "killall packagekitd" and tried the upgrade again through opkg.

 This time when it got to that same package there was a interactive prompt:

 Downloading http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/om-gta02
 /openmoko-community-repository_1.0-r0.02_om-gta02.opk
     Configuration file '/etc/opkg/Multiverse-feed.conf'
     ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
     ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
        What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
         Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
         N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
           D     : show the differences between the versions (if diff is
 installed)
      The default action is to keep your current version.
     *** Multiverse-feed.conf (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ?


 If I remember correctly from some short reading I've done about
 packagekit: interactive installs are not supported, so I'm guessing that's
 why it crashed.
