Hi,

The message behind the details button (part of the above message), tells that "the script was killed as the action was cancelled". 

journalctl:

"canceled" is correct American English, "cancelled" is the British spelling.

Comment 6 Paulo Fessel 2014-07-05 13:31:34 UTC
Confirmed here too. Strangely I manage two other F20 installations and just this one (which has been upgraded since F15 or F16) shows the issue.

Comment 7 Al 2014-07-06 14:42:00 UTC
I have 3 systems, one was updated from F19 with fedup, the other 2 are clean installs. One of those is my main system, which has many things installed, the other two are mostly there as  backups, and are pretty minimal installations (one a clean install, the other is the updated system). All 3 show this problem, but the main system does it almost all the time, the other systems much less so. I have not yet noticed a corrolation with any special package(s) that do or do not cause the error, but will keep my eyes open.

Comment 8 Mark Stanton 2014-07-29 18:03:58 UTC
I get this error occasionally, and haven't been able to identify any corrolations.

However, it seems to me that the message is in error and that all the packages *are* updated, despite the message.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:45:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 20:26:10 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
