Hi! Three times over the last few days, the Software Update program has announced that it has 10 updates it wants to install. I okay this, provide the password to approve it, the program gets the list of pkgs. (a few SELinux libraries, a microcode reader, an ffmpeg lib, among others) downloads, attempts to install, fails and closes; the details say "Fail;fail' This is Fedora 17 64-bit Gnome on a Toshiba Satellite A665. Thought you might like to know of this. thx Lowell Premer

What do you see if you run "sudo yum update" from terminal?
My behavior was slightly different. Update downloaded lists and found what needed updating, and then just paused. I think I rebooted to clear whatever the update program was waiting for. I have two systems which are very similar and both are running Fedora 17 64bit Gnome.
I wonder if the problem is somewhere other than selinux though.

Sent this to Steven Stern, who advised me to do it "by hand": run "sudo yum update" which I did, results below. (Should've replied to list to begin with, I bet...)
"Wow! It downloaded & installed 129 different programs, pieces of firmware, & even a new kernel (3.3.4); mixed in among that number were at least some of the original 10 (microcode-reader, ffmpeg, some of the SELinux libs, anyway).
So, broken gui updater? Stop relying on it and run the yum command periodically?"
