Yes, I got this, it caused me a lot of grief. I downloaded everything that
did not freeze up2date, and then downloaded the bad boys by hand from the
repository and installed them by rpm -U directly.
I believe its a bug in up2date triggered when the installed packages have
dependencies on other packages not also selected, because that's what I was
seeing when I installed them using rpm on the console.
If you didn't already, try selecting only up2date and the up2date ui packages
and updating just those, and trying again. I think whatever this bug was, it
may have been fixed. After doing the updates by hand as I described, I no
longer get this behaviour.... whether the fix was in up2date or the
repository I have no idea.
