Bug Description
Hi!
The ubuntu-
Please remove that unnecessary breakage, as this results in other bugs to happen (other software-centers fail to install, central applications get killed, nvidia drivers can't update, ...)
If there are features missing in Aptcc, please implement them there, so all applications using PK can rely on them.
Thanks!

Installing PackageKit instead of aptdaemon is going to break software which expects the WhatProvides() and other plugins to work. We do not currently have packaged software that does, so removing the Breaks: for now should be okay.

I agree in principle, but I doubt it's a realistic goal. It would mean to implement all the plugins twice, with the aptcc implementation taking a lot more effort and getting very little testing (since the standard PK API implementation in Ubuntu is currently aptdaemon).
