First. Do you have any 'other than Fedora' packages installed? That can,
and usually does, cause problems.

For me it worked this time. It, the plugin, works most of the time.

I have a script that works when this plugin does not work. It is not too
large but I would not post it for you here because some users have
download size limits.

If you would like to try it, it has never caused me any problems, I would
email it to you privately. It is slow when you compare it to a normal
update but it will skip any packages that have problems.
