Sunil Mohan Adapa 3a22e1717e packages: refresh package list before install and handle errors
- Refresh package list before trying to install packages.  Also lookup
  the ID of the package, including the version, using the newly fetched
  package list.

- Call on_install() callback requested by modules only if the package
  installation was successful.  Handle any exception raised in the
  callback itself.

- Handle exceptions raised during packagekit operations.  Also check the
  returned results for error code.

- Capture error/success status during a transaction.  Don't destroy the
  transaction object until the error/success status has been collected.
  When a view is refreshed after completion of a transaction collect the
  result of the transaction and show it to the user.

- Handle cases where package searches in the package list fails.  Simply
  show the package name without its description.
