[M A Young]

A quick answer to some of your points; I need to look at the others more 
carefully.

I would have said this is something local to your machine, the install is 
finding a broken copy of pod2man in /usr/local/bin but the default Fedora 
location is /usr/bin/pod2man. I suggest you run rpm -qf 
/usr/local/bin/pod2man to see if a package has installed it, and consider 
deleting the file or the package if you don't need them.

Don't upgrade kernels with -Uhv , use -ihv instead. U will remove any old 
kernels, including the one you are running, which is generally not what 
you want. If you do want to remove kernels do it manually before or 
afterwards with rpm -e #full kernel name#
