F10: Unrequested automatic installation

This seems unusual:

Fresh install of F10 (from DVD) couple of days after release (28-Nov).

I have added rpmfusion and livna repositories when the install was done.

This morning after booting and logging in, a little bubble opened in the
lower right hand corner that said some updates were complete.  I had not
requested any updates.  Previous updates had all been done by me typing
"yum update" in a gnome-terminal.

Reviewing /var/log/yum.log to see what was installed I find the
following:

Dec 05 08:02:19 Installed: createrepo-0.9.6-3.fc10.noarch
Dec 05 08:02:20 Installed: 1:anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-3.fc10.noarch
Dec 05 08:02:21 Installed: preupgrade-1.0.0-1.fc10.noarch

Why were these packages automatically installed without me requesting
them?
