Or not.  I tried it a few times, and it failed.  And then it
succeeded.

Well I'll be damned.  I can't reproduce this now.
Comment 4 David Shea 2014-03-14 14:34:06 UTC 
Ok. Reopen if it happens again. This looks like another of the same kind of Gtk thread issue that was fixed in a0cc26382c94fdbb5b7db25a1aa909cd650bcc1b, so for installs you were doing pre-21.25-1 you may have been hitting that bug.
