[Bug 369081] [NEW] KPackageKit doesn't install virtualbox nor acrobat reader

[Fabio Papa]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

I had to install both VirtualBox and Acrobat reader which come in isolated .deb files (I mean I didn't setup repos for them, just used the .debs downloaded from the sites with firefox).
Opening them from the desktop spawned kpackagekit installer correctly, but both failed with a pretty generic error. Launching manually from a shell, I got this:
