Its downloading the updates now. Could it be an architecture problem I'm on a i386 and yor're on X86_64. Another problem I see Jesse is that when the new repos get installed then the updates repo is created as fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew. The original updates repo has to be there to do the initial update. I copied the new repo to the old one. Should this be done as part of the install. I presume PackageKit will not usea repo called ??.rpmnew.
