Expected results: Not Failed Additional info:
Pretty strange, in both packages /lib should be (and is, I checked that) symlink to /usr/lib . Is that the case on your machine? I think this is something broken/user modified on your system, as otherwise I'm quite sure this will be not the only one report of this issue.
It is the problem is it was trying to apply update while the current filesystem was in use and the when it was updating the sysmlink it obviously failed. This was due to an upgrade from F18 -> F19 borking at some point and booting into Failsafe.
I no longer type English well!!
