Well let me know whether you have tried to install Synaptic Package Manger on the computer of yours. I recommend that you should run the below mentioned command on the terminal.

I let you know that apt means Advanced Packages Tool which would provide the apt-get program. You can retrieve as well as install any of the packages on the computer y using the command line from the multiple source. It works only with the packages which are properly named and it can be install on the system of yours. you can use apt-get update command to update the list of the packages which are being installed on the computer.
I am highly suspecting that there is something wrong with the KPackageKit. I mean you should simply reinstall the package manger on the computer and see whether you have noticed any difference in the situation. If there is no change in the situation than I recommend that you have to contact the developer and simply file a bug report to the them. The developer would fix the bug issue and release the patch which you can apply to fix the matter of yours.
