software update & SELinux libraries

[Lowell]

Sent this to Steven Stern, who advised me to do it "by hand": run "sudo 
yum update" which I did, results below. (Should've replied to list to 
begin with, I bet...)

"Wow! It downloaded & installed 129 different programs, pieces of 
firmware, & even  a new kernel (3.3.4); mixed in among that number were 
at least some of the original 10 (microcode-reader, ffmpeg, some of the 
SELinux libs, anyway).

So, broken gui updater? Stop relying on it and run the yum command 
periodically?"
