Description of problem: At the end of a series of rawhide updates yum wrote: ..... Cleanup : system-config-users ##################### [489/489] Unable to look at what's on dbus ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments () according to signature u's': <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: More items found in D-Bus signature than in Python arguments Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 241, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 193, in main base.doTransaction() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 432, in doTransaction self.runTransaction(cb=cb) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 790, in runTransaction self.plugins.run('posttrans') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 175, in run func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs)) File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/refresh-packagekit.py", line 37, in posttrans_hook packagekit_iface.StateHasChanged('posttrans') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 68, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 597, in call_blocking message.append(signature=signature, *args) TypeError: More items found in D-Bus signature than in Python arguments That update includes an update to dbus-1.2.1-3.fc10 and I see that I have two dbus-daemon processes running: 1949 started on a boot (shown by ps as 'dbus-daemon --system') and '/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 15 --print-address 17 --session' with pid of 2385 started a short time later. Thus both will be from dbus-1.2.1-1.fc9. It appears that an update was actually successful and 'package-cleanup' does not report any problems - AFAICS. Only that traceback. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.14-10.fc9 dbus-1.2.1-3.fc10 (currently) How reproducible: don't know
Cheers for reporting this bug -- it's harmless but needs to be fixed as it's pretty scary-looking. I've fixed this in 2ccd2e3503eeaca3b634ec05a97b8a297edb7958 -- I'll build a new PackageKit 0.1.x snapshot.

Should be fixed if you update to the latest yum-packagekit in fedora-updates-testing.
