The errors from that transaction are related to colord groups not existing and a dmraid scriptlet failure.

A recent upgrade which did not involve xorg-x11-xkb-utils may have broken this as well. Maybe something in it broke (I hadn't rebooted for a while...not sure if transaction 33 was before or after the reboot.

Fixed after the latest Rawhide update. Not sure if it still exists in F17.
