I think my problems are similar (see "Automounting/removable media
problem") as I'm getting reports of hal problems and a lot of dependency
errors on "yum update".

I assume this is due to transient issues as dependencies change during
the test phase, but - as I've said before - these problems prevent us
from testing up-to-date builds and filing accurate reports.

So as well as asking about how to fix our systems I'd also ask what is
the recommendation for testers? Are bulk updates not recommended for
now?
