[CentOS] Package Updater problems

Hello!

I'm afraid that I don't understand redhat's bugzilla -- there's an 
approx 10-character wide box for reporting the bug and it always claims 
that that's not a bug.  I'm sure I'm missing something.

Anyway, here's the problems:

Using Centos 5.2 and the "Software Updater/Package Updater/pup", I 
winnowed the problem updates down to six packages:

  1:  Updated file packages available
  2:  Updated gcc43 packages available
  3:  Updated gcc packages available
  4:  Updated pam packages available
  5:  Updated redhat-logos packages available
  6:  Updated redhat-menus packages available

I set it up so that the package updater should only try to handle one 
update, and I repeated this six times, once per problem update.
BTW, it'd really help if there was a button on pup to deselect all 
updates (and let me click a few on).
