So, the problem is that PackageKit casts the item owner to pkgAcqArchiveSane, but I'm using the mirror method and this now fetches the mirror list every run, and that's probably not a pkgAcqArchive.

Uploaded so we don't forget about it. Probably want to do a 1.1.9-2 in Debian though and sync it again :)
