Safely removing the package kit cache

PackageKit does not offer a built in way to clean the updates. So we have to resort to a dumb fix. First delete the whole cache directory:

$ rm -r /var/cache/PackageKit

Then for cleanliness, let PackageKit re-download the metadata cache. This just downloads the metadata cache; not the auto updates:

$ sudo pkcon refresh force -c -1
