Paul, your original message contained an ominous warning that no one should download or update any additional packages. This is an untenable situation for anyone depending on Fedora. You haven't mentioned this at all in the subsequent messages; does this still apply? Following the line of thought to its logical conclusion, is there a risk that end-user systems are compromised in some way via previous updates? I know you've got things to work out, but with the school year starting and all, we need to know what level of recovery work of our own will be required. I'm not looking forward to following the infrastructure's long weekend with one of my own -- but if I'm going to have to, I'd really appreciate knowing about it as soon as possible.
