When I click the 'Install/Remove Software' icon, there is no response and some error message would be printed on console: 
#######################
root@beagleboard:~# No package manager installed?
yast
xdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking '/sbin/yast2 --install' as 'root'
#######################

This issue is not a new one, but exist for a long time.

Have a furhter look at /usr/bin/package-manager, and found the reason is that: non of the supported package manager (yast, zlm, kpackagekit, gnome-packagekit) are installed. so the the 'Install/Remove Software' icon exit with error info.

To fix it, we need to select one package manager GUI, and revise the /usr/bin/package-manager accordingly. so transfer it to Mark
