My question to fedora-list is "what is the org.frredesktop.etc error
and how to I correct so it will work". If I need to go command line
and do it through yum, that's okay ... I just need a bit of guidance
on the process.
Do not login as root and attempt to run PackageKit/update.
Either:
- Login as root, but run 'yum update' from a terminal.
- Login as a normal user and apply updates via PackageKit.
See:

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, will try this suggestion during the next week

After checking this link and reading some of the other comments, I
elected to log in as root and do it via "yum update". Couple problems
that I only partly understand.
First, I got "kernal: Uhhuh / Dazed and Confused" messages, which I
don't think are related to the "yum update" and will post another
thread on that (if they are related, then my bad assumption)
Second, it did the rpm_check_debug / Transaction Test (succeeded) and
began all the installs and updates. Failed on one:
Updating : gmime-sharp #####################
[179/790]
Updating : gpm-devel #####################
[180/790]
error: boost-devel-1.34.1-15.fc9: Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key
ID 4f2a6fd2
Updating : netpbm-devel #####################
[182/790]
Updating : libXfont-devel #####################
[183/790]
I want to beleive that this is a local problem to the boost package
that probably needs to be tried again before reporting problem. That
being said, I am a newbie so I wanted to check. If I am right, will
the system pick boost up as in need of update and let me try again
next time I boot.
Third, when it finished with updating selinux-policy-targeted, I got a
error that "Tomboy Notes" had quit. I also got an message about:
SELinux is preventing mono (unlabeled_t)
"use" to /dev/null (unconfined_t)
That seems like a bug?
The last one is the one that has me concerned as it is coming from yum
at the very very end:
Cleanup : openssh #####################
[788/790]
Cleanup : gtk2 #####################

You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@chowder ~]#
This is certainly giving me the impression that something isn't right
in the yum code that is doing the install ... if it were the install
proper I would expect a cleaner message rather than a Python trace of
its burp, right?
I have attached the mail it left for me.
I've left the system as is because I am not certain whether there
might be advice to do something before I reboot ... and I certainly
expected yum to tell me I ought to reboot but I think the final error
killed yum properly finishing.
Once again, thanks for any help,
Paul
Bit the bullet, did the reboot, it wanted to update boost, did yum
update, everything behaved.
I'm obviously being way too timid in this process and I apologize for
this post as I clearly should have shown a bit more willingness to "see
what happens if".
The kernal issue which I put on a different thread is still an issue,
doing memcheck86 as I write this.
Thanks for all the help,
Paul
