Update virgin F9: yum/dbus TypeError

[Patrick-110]

Hi,

I just installed F9 on a box and did a yum update. 700+ packages later I
see the following error:

  Cleanup : gtk2           ######################### [885/885] <-last pkg
ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments () according to signature
u's': <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: More items found in D-Bus signature
than in Python arguments
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 597, in

message.append(signature=signature, *args)
TypeError: More items found in D-Bus signature than in Python arguments


My googling came up empty so I wonder if this error is a known issue and
if I should bugzilla this. And how I can possible fix this error if it
impedes the correct working of yum.

Suggestions most welcome.

Thanks and regards,
Patrick

You could skim over  http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/yum
and  http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/dbus-python

Try "yum-complete-transaction" from yum-utils.

Thanks for your feedback Michael. yum-complete-transaction said there
was nothing to complete so I guess all is well.
