Comment 1 Tony Browning 2012-02-19 19:55:53 UTC
Seth, you can mark this as works-for-me because I managed to get into Software Updates and had a few packages that had uploaded from the 315 new updates but then Software Updates froze. I unchecked all but the boxes of packages then they finished installing, except sometimes I get the reading after updating this> forcible quit, backend did not exit clean, has to be killed to be cancelled. But when I go back into Software Updates and update more packages evidently it appears the packages then exit cleanly. The 1st 658 updates loaded-up fast, but now, I have to update 3,4 or 5 packages with just about 8MB total or less at any given one time or the forcible quit will appear.

Comment 2 Tony Browning 2012-02-26 00:43:12 UTC
Seth, consider this bug as Fixed-For-Me. I had packages that had missing requires and I had to do some uninstalling and re-installing. Now back-up and running like brand new again. Thanks very much. Sorry for the trouble.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
