Well, now I have to take that back. Booted up the AMD box just to
check, ran some things like
yum info yum
yum check-update
just to see, and it seemed to return too quickly and quietly.
yum search haegis
yielded no response at all, and then
yum search aegis
sent it into a very tight endless loop of some sort, would not even
toggle the capslock indicator on the keyboard.
However, after killing the power and booting back up (did I make sure
it did the fsck? erk.) I did a yum clean and tried it out again, and
it seems to be behaving itself.
Guess I have to go back and read the threads on broken yum.
My iBook G4 went through the first update, and right at the end of
the last cleanup transaction (PackageKit), gave me a traceback.
Something about (copied by hand, to practice my touch-typing ;)

I think I got that right.
I checked the new keys and they are in place in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg .
Anyone else seen this? Is it worth a bug report?
What's the usual thing to do next? keep yumming?
Is there a yum command to check yum's internal consistency?
