a) That manual was written at the time of 5.0 - yum-updatesd was broken then. b) It is broken again :/ c) "yum update yum" and then "yum update" the rest broke things for some people when going from 5.2 to 5.3.
Ralph,
I wonder if yum-updatesd might cache repo data separate from yum cache, in which case some older incompatible cached data from the previous version may still be around causing yum-updatesd to bork.
If so I think that cache will need to be manually deleted.
I'll check my desktop system when I get to work to see if my theory is correct.
