The last 24 hours I only got some kdeedu packages and a lot of 'regular'
fedora-10 updates. You can see these with the Software Log Viewer (under
System) Maybe a problem with selinux policies?
I realise now that it does actually shutdown, if you wait long enough, which
leads me to suspect that it is waiting for something and having to wait for a
time-out. Is anything written to logs during shutdown? I've been away for
the weekend, but I'll start hunting as soon as I've caught up with my mail.
