Is it worth checking that the symptoms seen in
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/rel-eng/2008-September/001729.html
may or may not be happening?

i.e. that:
 
"* At this point it appears that PK failed, but it is actually updating

other dialog makes it appear that it finished."

is or is not happening?
