Hi there,
I hope I'm right here with my report. Today I've looked for Updates using
KPackageKit, where I've got four Updates concerning language packages
-language-pack-de
-language-pack-de-base
-language-pack-en
-language-pack-en-base
-language-pack-de-base
I don't know if it plays any role. Afterwards I clicked the actualise-button.
KPackageKit was searching and ended with:

unexpected error, please report this with these details (I translated the
report from german, so the origin english text may differ, but the following is
outputted by KPackageKit)
