kernel problem in todays rawhide update

[richard hally]

While running yum update for todays rawhide update the following error 
occured:

  Updating  : glib2-devel                  ####################### [34/75]

And nothing further, not even a prompt.
After a ctrl-c, the following:

error: %post(kernel-2.6.24-0.118.rc5.git6.fc9.i686) scriptlet failed, 
signal 2
[root at localhost ~]#

What up?
