When it was originally introduced, PackageKit used to rely on
NetworkManager to figure out if the network is active and if you had
disabled NM, you would have that problem.  This was fixed by falling back
to testing via the older method which still works even if you had NM
disabled.  So you wouldn't have this problem anymore.  PackageKit GUI still
offers the ability to select packages on the fly during updates.  Offline
updates is just the default method and can be switched off even without
uninstalling PackageKit.  Also PackageKit itself is just a framework and
offers other abilities such as installing codecs or fonts on demand
