Too many packages from updates-testing? Or would it be feasible to
"yum history undo…" the latest updates and then reapply them in smaller
groups to narrow it down?
Alternatively, "yum distro-sync --disablerepo=updates-testing" can be
helpful to revert, especially if you believe you cannot reproduce the
problem prior to installing test-updates.
