Thanks Rahul, comment 9 is what led me to believe the updates were
downloaded and installed which was holding up accessibility to run pup
or pirut.
Reading further into the thread I see that the problems are fixed which
caused the problem. I never searched for
"comps-f8.xml corrupt and so yum-updatesd continually re-downloads it"
At least I was not hallucinating as assumed because of not being able to
find the report. I looked for pirut, pup and yum-update daemon bugs.
