If one runs pkcon update it should show the progress of downloading and after that installing. However the percentage remains at 0% until the download finished for all packages and the same happens for the progress regarding installing them.

Reproducible: Always

Probably a PackageKit backend problem. libzypp is triggering callbacks, otherwise zypper/yast would not show progress too.
Comment 2 Fadi Moukayed 2011-11-10 18:40:02 UTC 
This problem still (partially) exists on 12.1RC2 - installation progress now works, but downloading progress is still broken.

A brief look at pk-backend-zypp (http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/blobs/master/backends/zypp/pk-backend-zypp.cpp) seems to suggest that this specific feature hasn't been implemented yet.
Comment 3 Robby Verberne 2012-08-18 07:36:31 UTC 
Is there a special reason reason as to why this feature still has not been implemented?
I am sure more people use apper, and they all suffer from it.
It cannot be this difficult to let it show what it is downloading?
Zypper and Yast show, so it is already present in the system.
There must be a way to create a link to the logger for this process?

Still valid for 12.2.

I actually recall having implemented this - PK based clients are much better in showing progress now (per item and overall)

Tested with pkcon; that was fixed in PackageKit 1.0.3+
