I have this too from times to times. At first, I thought it was due to a closed connection to Internet, but recently, I saw this can happen with an Internet connection alive too. Currently, I have a "Getting update lists failed - Failed to get updates" pop-up window open, and it refuse to close when I click on the close gadget.
Comment from Vance Baarda in bug #395445 : "Update-test repo (http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0-test) has the fix." There are indeed newer version of PackageKit and gnome-packagekit but how safe is it for a simple user to add a /test/ repository. Can I assume that those RPMs will be available as an update to all users after a defined test period ? (It seems there are many duplicates about this bug. Is this report considered a duplicate of bug #395445 ?)
