I am not sure if this is properly implemented in PackageKit's Apt backend. Can you please download & install PackageKit >= 0.8.x from Debian Experimental (or use my PK snapshot PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ximion/+archive/packagekit ) and test it with this, more recent version? (The one in Ubuntu is outdated)
Also, do you use a proxy? Is network properly set up? Because maybe PK just has problems downloading the data.
Also, do you use PackageKit and not the Aptdaemon compat layer? (Simply test it by running "sudo /usr/lib/packagekit/packagekitd --verbose" - If the command is present, you use PackageKit. Alternatively you can also test if the "packagekit" package is installed.)
