Here's the yum output: Running Transaction [('installing package kernel-2.6.27.12-78.2.8.fc9.i686 needs 730KB on the /boot filesystem', (9, '/boot', 747520L))] PackageKit displays a dialog with this in it: An internal system error has occurred And under More details: Error Type: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'> Error Value: sequence item 0: expected string, tuple found File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2280, in <module> main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2277, in main backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 600, in dispatcher self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 578, in dispatch_command self.update_system() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 1105, in update_system self._runYumTransaction(allow_skip_broken=True) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 1534, in _runYumTransaction message = _format_msgs(ye.value) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 170, in _format_msgs text = " ".join(msgs)

Created attachment 22308 [details] [review] patch to workaround insanity Can you try applying this patch? You can copy it directly into /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py if you don't have a checkout handy. Thanks dude.
The message is actually from RPM originally. Also see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460146
Where do the brackets come from? ('installing package kernel-2.6.27-0.290.rc5.fc10.i686 needs 2MB on the /boot filesystem', (9, '/boot', 2012160L)) I guess python is parsing this as structure.
