Now when I try to use Packagekit  (System->Administration->Add/Remove Software) to add new software I get the following message. What is going on? What do I need to do to fix this? There are several packages I need to add to finish out the functionality of my laptop. I currently have SELinux disabled in the hope that it was the cause of the problem.  Please advise.

John,

I have had the same problem on two machines.  You can bypass this for
the time being by doing a "yum update --exclude=PackageKit-qt" at the
command prompt.

Hopefully they will be able to get this fixed soon.
