No, that won't work either. In PackageKit parlance "installing a
package" is installing a package that does not already exist on the
computer. You can't downgrade (or upgrade) packages using the
PackageKit InstallPackages() method.
That only matters if you install every package in the repo, which I
don't think many people do.
