What do you see if you run "sudo yum update" from terminal?

My behavior was slightly different. Update downloaded lists and found
what needed updating, and then just paused. I think I rebooted to clear
whatever the update program was waiting for. I have two systems which
are very similar and both are running Fedora 17 64bit Gnome.

I wonder if the problem is somewhere other than selinux though.

"sudo" is not setup by default on Fedora systems. To be more general
(and probably less confusing for a new user), the OP can say what the
following says:

$ su -
Password:
# yum update

Sent this to Steven Stern, who advised me to do it "by hand": run "sudo
yum update" which I did, results below. (Should've replied to list to
begin with, I bet...)


"Wow! It downloaded & installed 129 different programs, pieces of
firmware, & even a new kernel (3.3.4); mixed in among that number were
at least some of the original 10 (microcode-reader, ffmpeg, some of the
SELinux libs, anyway).


So, broken gui updater? Stop relying on it and run the yum command
periodically?"
