Dbus error with yum

I did a clean install of Fedora 9 i386 on my Thinkpad t60p. After the
install I did a yum update and everything went well until the end. After the
final package cleaned up I received the error message:

ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments () according to signature
u's':
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: More items found in D-Bus signature than in
Python arguments
Traceback (most recent call last):

    errcode = hotshot(main, args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 193, in main

    message.append(signature=signature, *args)
TypeError: More items found in D-Bus signature than in Python arguments

Has anyone seen this or know what is causing it? Everything seems to be
working ok and the updates seem to all be installed. Is there anything I
should be concerned about?

Thanks
