Well, you tell me : the instruction said :
do
yum clean metadata
yum -y update
and I departed from that in two ways. I did "yum clean all" followed by
plain "yum update" without the -y.
It failed on all machines.
I went back and did "yum clean metadata" as instructed.
Then either plain "yum update" (on machines where I had already
either removed NM or used the exclude formula), or things like "yum
install krb5-auth-dialog" and "yum install NetworkManager-gnome"
succeeded, whereupon "yum update" again either got something and
succeeded, or else reported it had nothing to do.
Is that close enoough to copy into a bug report, or was it some
fault of mine?
