No, the output you saw was from a script, which ran

    yum -e 0 -d 1 list updates ; yum -e 0 -d 1 update

If you suspect some problem with ^D, then perhaps I should add -y to
the command line(s).

It happened on two different machines, so it is repeatable, 
However, running just a

    yum list updates

and then

    yum update

later, by hand, ran just fine, without any errors (and where I typed in 'y' at 
the question)

Mumph.

Any further thoughts?
