Thanks, everyone. Interesting that nobody had a fix for the (humorously
named) PackageKit-command-not-found issue, i.e., all respondents were just
happy trashing it. I work on new computers a lot and don't always keep
track of what packages I install, so (although I agree it's weird and not a
very unixy/linuxy way to do things) I actually wouldn't mind if it ever
worked again! In the meantime, I have also trashed it.

Best,
Matt
