PackageKit does very little extra that yum already does. Does your
system also freeze when you do an identical update? Is your system
perhaps getting critically hot during a package upgrade? Have you
checked all the system RAM?

unfortunately the system also freezed today when doing (trying to do, actually) a big install with yumex. so i was wondering if it has anything to do with packagekit after all. i'll check both ram and the sensors. thank you for your reply.
