more update non-optimals

[Joel Rees]

My AMD box in the other room updated just fine.

yum clean
yum check-update
yum update
yum update
[a little running back and forth between an X11 unprivileged session  
looking at the keys and a wheel user console session importing and  
fingerprinting]
shutdown -r now
[seems to be running as well as it was, haven't figured out the new  
input method for Japanese yet, PS-2 mouse is still erratic]

My iBook G4 went through the first update, and right at the end of  
the last cleanup transaction (PackageKit), gave me a traceback.  
Something about (copied by hand, to practice my touch-typing ;)

I think I got that right.

I checked the new keys and they are in place in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg .

Anyone else seen this? Is it worth a bug report?

What's the usual thing to do next? keep yumming?

Is there a yum command to check yum's internal consistency?
