Just ignore this post has ever happened, please. I shouldn't try/debug
such stuff while listening to talks at conferences. ;)

The problem was not with the packages I was trying to update to but
actually will some older ones. Neither the current one nor the oldest
one...so not sure how this turned up as an issue all of a sudden. But
removing kernel*-3.15.0-0.rc4.git3.1.fc21.x86_64 "fixed" the problem.
No idea what caused it, though but as long as it doesn't even happen
again, that's okay.
