Thanks. I can't find any log in /root dated 2011. But it certainly
sounds like this error.

The bug says a new preupgrade will be released shortly. I think I should
wait for that, although I don't know how to find out when it is
available (I added myself to the CC list, so that should do the trick, i
hope).

Presumably if I yum erase preupgrade, and then install and run it again
when the new preupgrade is on the mirrors, it should just work.
