Now that I have given credit to the person who found the solution, let me repeat the solution: Anthony Irven Scott said: This thread at FedoraForums will fix your problem. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204203 Following the link to the Fedora Forum brings us to a post by leigh123@linux and he suggested trying the following code from a command prompt: su wget http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/yumex/2.0.5/3.fc9/noarch/yumex-2.0.5- 3.fc9.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh yumex-2.0.5-3.fc9.noarch.rpm rm -f yumex-2.0.5-3.fc9.noarch.rpm This worked for me! Replacing my current yumex with the newer package removed the UpdateNotificationException("No id element found") error that was being thrown by yumex. -- Steven F.
