This same thing happened yesterday and I found that I could do the
update from a terminal with yum update. So I guess this isn't an
absolute show-stopper, but the GUI app ought to work, I think. How
should I begin troubleshooting this (like where should I go to
*actually* get more details)?
I stopped using the Software Updater years ago. It would work Just Fine
to tell me I had updates, but when I tried to install them it would
insist that there wasn't a network connection. I have yumex installed
and it works Just Fine. (At one point, it too failed to find an
existing network connection, but I just disabled the check. It doesn't
need to check, because I'd never try to use it if my DSL were down.)
