Well, after much ado (rebooting several times, rebuilding rpm databases,
flushing every damned cache I could find, and removing anything having
to do with Maven), I've been able to get the thing to download and it's
going through the update process now (1,633 of 11,032 packages
completed).

Thanks for all the help, gang. It took brute force and the dreaded
BFH (big f***ing hammer) to get it to behave.

As one of my .sig lines says, "If you can't beat your computer at chess,
try kickboxing." More or less exactly what I did. Turns out it has a
glass jaw. :-)
