The problem I was facing is very easy to reproduce, and very hard to deal with for regular users. 1) Install from the live cd 2) Log in 3) Run System > Administration > Software Updates 4) Get an unintelligable error dialog So, I think having an automated test that basically does these steps and verifies that the current set of updates can be successfully installed on a GOLD install would be very useful. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
