Yes.  Try again tomorrow.

I got similar errors a few days after initially installing F12 in November.  I tried a couple of things as you did, but still got those messages.  I decided not to do the update; the system was running okay as it was.  I would figure it out later.  A couple of days later I tried updating again, and everything worked just fine.

My theory for the problem was that the proper dependencies weren't available for whatever reason; however, they were later.
