Same problem here but only on one of two "very similar" F8 machines

My preferred solution was
yum remove NetworkManager*
but this takes out evolution for some reason!!

yum --exclude NetworkManager* update was the best I could do
to get most things updated

Could not find out why one machine updated Ok and the other doesn't
