Hopefully I describe this accurately, but it's actually much worse
than that. The PackageKit yum plugin causes PK to update after every
yum transaction. While this is necessary as PK is used for the GUI
updater, I think the default wait time after the last yum transaction
is a bit short.

I think uninstalling apper and the yum PK plugin would probably be
better than ripping out everything PK.
