After updating my IA-32 image SL 6 laptop to SL 6.4 using the update
pathway from the automatically displayed anaconda GUI using the
approximately 4Gbyte update/install DVD, rebooting and using the system,
the red "badge" (Update Applet 2.28.3) with a bang appeared on the upper
panel. The claim is presented for 148 updates. I attempted to use the
automatically displayed GUI updater that is invoked from the red badge
icon. In addition to be exceptionally slow because of poor USA DSL
bandwidth at my home, the following diagnostics appeared:
Traceback (most recent call last):

could not add package update for lcms2-2.3-2.el6(i686)epel:
lcms2-2.3-2.el6.i686
I cancelled the update and will try again later.
1. Does anyone know what is causing the above (recall that the DVD 6.4
upgrade was successful)?
2. As the on-line update is VERY slow for my situation, I attempted to
let the process run overnight unattended. Is there anyway to do this
automated install so that it will simply skip those packages that "fail"
(as the above) without requiring root password authentication
intervention, similar to the -y switch on fsck. I realize that such
automation is not ideal, but it would be less total time to re-install
from DVD in the event that the process resulted in a no-boot or highly
unstable system.
Thanks for any insight.
