Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package libgudev1.x86_64 0:208-8.fc20 will be updated I am able to do system updates but this error keeps showing up for the last few days.

Same here on Fedora 19 after updating yum: # yum update Loaded plugins: langpacks Warning: group core does not exist. Warning: group multimedia does not exist. Warning: group firefox does not exist. Warning: group guest-desktop-agents does not exist. Warning: group base-x does not exist. Warning: group anaconda-tools does not exist. Warning: group lxde-media does not exist.

Assigning to James, yum groups are his area of expertise.
o Same thing for fedora 19: ... Warning: group server-cfg does not exist. Warning: group sanskrit-support does not exist. Warning: group java does not exist. Warning: group guest-desktop-agents does not exist. Warning: group sound-and-video does not exist. Warning: group network-server does not exist. ... o Further, I can't remove groups either: [root@ePaq ~]# yum group remove LibreOffice Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit No environment named LibreOffice exists No packages to remove from groups o But it's listed as an "Installed Groups": Installed groups: Administration Tools ... LibreOffice o To check: [root@ePaq ~]# yum group install LibreOffice Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit No packages in any requested group available to install or update o Oddly enough removing a non existant group gives the same warning. [root@ePaq ~]# yum group install non-existant-group Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Warning: group non-existant-group does not exist. No packages in any requested group available to install or update o yum version yum-3.4.3-120.fc19.noarch
I thought we'd fixed these, *sigh*. The first problem is that the groups are old ones that are marked as installed, but don't exist in any repo. metadata ... so the automatic "yum group upgrade" that is part of "yum upgrade" can't find them (just need to hide the warning, in this case but not in the "yum group upgrade foo" case). The "group remove" problem is very likely that the group doesn't have any installed packages (can see with "yum group info"), and we should output a message saying the user needs to do Eg. "yum groups mark remove LibreOffice".
o So what I don't understand is why the "yum group info office" brings back a ton of packages (most of them with a '+'). [root@ePaq ~]# yum group info "office" Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Group: Office/Productivity Group-Id: office Description: The applications include office suites, PDF viewers, and more. Optional Packages: +MagicPoint Saaghar +Zim ... o But if I attempt to install the group, nothing happens: [root@ePaq ~]# yum group install "office" Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit No packages in any requested group available to install or update o does the group-id "office" need to be in the repository?

Michael: I do not believe this is a dupe of 1014202. The checks and errors hit are not the same. I've filed a new bug for this specific problem, which I believe I've identified the cause of, as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043202 . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1043202 ***
OK, one more try: now I've poked it some more, I'm pretty sure the real bug here is 1043207 . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1043207 ***
Add a me too....
confirmed also in F20.
The fix for this just went out to updates-testing a few minutes ago. See the dupe bug for the info.
Ah sorry for the noise. me screenreader doesnt notice that this bug is a dupe caused by bug995639. Thanks for that information.
