Just now I checked for updates an there were 17 (20060716), no
kernel. 'yum update' was successful, except for....
Updating : indent ####################### [13/34]
install-info: /usr/share/info/indent.info.gz: empty file
error: %post(indent-2.2.9-13.fc6.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status
1 .... and there was no 'Cleanup' statement for indent
No power failure (I'm on an UPS anyway), use of Ctrl+c or kill.
Seems indent had a packaging problem tho.
Then immediately running the script to chk for dups.....

# yumdups
Duplicates were found:
indent-2.2.9-12.3.1
