problems with up2date and rpm

[Alexander Volovics]

After downloading and installing the new SSL certificate I
attemted to update severn and encountered the following problems:

1) up2date listed the packages and then asked if I wanted to install
   a new up2date (up2date-3.9.19-2). I said yes and up2date downloaded
   and installed this up2date and the complementary up2date-gnome.
   Then up2date came with the message that it would 'restart'.
   It did not restart!

2) I restarted up2date myself and it downloaded all the necessary hdr's
   and rpm's (337!).
   However it did not seem able to install them.
   Install started but then it 'just sat there' without installing
   anything!

3) I then tried to install by hand using 'rpm -Fvh' (because the new
   up2date was already installed and in the the /var/spool/up2date
   directory.
   'rpm -Fvh' complained about 5 missing dependencies (tzdata, ..., etc)
   and stopped. As all the packages complained about were in the 
   /var/spool/up2date directory I didn't try to solve this.

4) I then tried 'rpm -Uvh'. This worked OK up to xterm-179-4.1 which
   it didn't install (I knew about this problem and the solution but I
   had forgotten about it) and yelp-2.3.6-2 which it did install after
   the following messages:

Has anybody else encountered the same problems. If not are they worth
bugzillaing.
