Description of problem: PackageKit shows in the applet that it is doing an update, it does finish the said update but in the end it pops up a dialog stating an error. The error details are the following : Error Type: <type 'exceptions.IndexError'> Error Value: list index out of range File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2280, in <module> else: File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2277, in main elif result == 1: File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 611, in dispatcher self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 578, in dispatch_command self.update_system() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 1101, in update_system File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py, line 2659, in update updated_pkg = self.rpmdb.searchPkgTuple(old)[0] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.3.13-1 How reproducible: It happens during an automatic update, I am not sure if it happens all the time, but it is frequent. Additional info: I believe that after that the PackageKit always update the applet to indicate the need for a reboot, even when the packages installed do not actually require such action. Also I think that even though it states an error the update has happened without problems, as updating manually on the command line using yum always say that the system is updated.
Does this happen with the latest release of yum?

I can't be sure, I've seen this problem recently, but I feel that the problem is rarer now (not exactly a precise measurement). I am closing this now, and if the problem persists I will fill another bug (or should I reopen this one?)
Thanks for the reply Victor If you see the problem again, please re-open this report. TK009 -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
