I rebooted and tired it again...it sat there for a long
time...nothing. I
then cheated and ran YUMEX. It saw the five updates and applied them just
fine. Once the ran I tried running the (System -> Administration -> Update
System) and again, it just sat there doign nothing. I let it sit while I
wrote e-mails on another computer...nada. I just cranked up YUMEX for the
fun of it....wham there it goes. ________________________________________
I'm just running it on another laptop A Dell Latitude 830 and it went no
trouble. Its downloading the updates now. Could it be an architecture
problem I'm on a i386 and yor're on X86_64.
Another problem I see Jesse is that when the new repos get installed then the
updates repo is created as fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew. The original updates
repo has to be there to do the initial update. I copied the new repo to the
old one. Should this be done as part of the install. I presume PackageKit
will not usea repo called ??.rpmnew.

I had the exact same problem on a old Dell D600 laptop. I waited about 20
minutes and nothing happened. A proccess called kcrypd ketp running every
minute or so.
Eventually I rebooted the machine and restarted the update from start and
it seems to be working. It's downloading 265 packages now
