Since the machine has been shutdown and rebooted 3/4 times since Apr5, it seems that no data is getting to this log. The machine has been on for many hours almost every day since (now Apr9). Normally yum log items are also logged to messages, but there have been none of these in this time frame.

Is this just my PC, or are others seeing this ?

I saw this on my machine on the update to kernel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6.
I backed off to the previous kernel kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 which
does log properly and sent out a query to this list on March 26.
 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-March/msg03318.html
However, I had no reply, so I was thinking that it was perhaps
something particular to my machine.  However, if you have seen
this as well, perhaps one of us should file a Bugzilla report.
(I just did another search of Bugzilla and didn't see this
problem reported, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.)
