Obviously no one else is seeing this. It just happened again in F21, and for
the first time, it happened in the middle of a transaction, so there's
nothing preventing that (but yum-complete-transaction was able to finish it,
at least). I'm guessing it has to do with my having slower hardware than
most other testers, like with
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=946964 , so no other testers
will see it until we get closer to release (and maybe not until after).
