This morning I again used pup to get available updates, including those 
that wouldn't resolve yesterday. This seemed to succeed with no errors. 
But pup still showed rhgb as needing update, which I tried. The machine 
was then restarted during the day, and pup run again: pup still 
indicating that rhgb was ready for update, but with the same update for 
rhgb that had already been done. Telling it to go ahead caused the 
update to install, yum log:
Jan 30 18:16:49 Updated: rhgb.i386 0.16.2-21

Running pup again no longer shows rhgb as being outstanding. So I can't 
give any further information on what might have been going wrong.
