I update my Fedora 19 every morning. Booting up over the last 3 weeks pops up a peculiar error message: Software update failed to complete
The dialog says: Failed To Update the off line update failed in an unexpected way Detailed errors from PackageManager follow: The transaction did not complete.
/var/log/messages shows nothing of note. /var/log/boot.log has one error: [FAILED] Failed to start Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit. See 'systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait.service' for details. systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait.service plymouth-quit-wait.service - Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-quit-wait.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sun 2013-10-13 10:13:19 EST; 43min ago Main PID: 544 CGroup: name=systemd:/system/plymouth-quit-wait.service
I have run yum clean all. How can I determine which update failed and what to do about it.
Thanks Roger

That's an unhelpful error message. Unfortunately, there are several places in the graphical package tools where real "details" are not shown. Does a manual "yum update" work?

That's annoying many users for a long time. A lot to read here (including some misleading instructions): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/967521
