Sounds like the PackageKit checks are working by the distro checks
aren't. What version of 0install is this?

You could try deleting e.g.
~/.cache/0install.net/injector/dpkg-status.cache (on Mint) and running
"0install -v select ..."

You should see e.g.

info: Running dpkg-query -W
"--showformat=${Version}\t${Architecture}\t${Status}\n" --
openjdk-6-jre

Then try running the command maually and see if it produced any output.
