I usually update when pup applet tells me there are updates available. Occasionally, however, something goes amiss and pup seems to spend forever fetching information on packages to be updated. It may load 300-500M of metadata(?) -- and at the end of it inform me that update cannot be done for one reason or another. This time the problem was: "failure: repodata/comps-f7.xml from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try" IMHO, it is extremely annoying to wait for an hour or more - only to be told that update fails. Now I know that if the names of the packages to be updates don't appear in a couple of minutes, the update *will* fail. My solution is to to go CLI and 'yum update'. It worked this time, too.
