<p class=MsoNormal>Looks like I caught a bad update from Fedora on Monday –
I got the update alert with x number of bugfixes, updates, etc. and reviewed it
like I would any windows update – had some dbus bugfixes, some ALSA, and
a few others… Went ahead and applied them and then decided that I wanted
to tinker with a few other things and add some packages.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I open Add/Remove Software to search for what I am
after and as soon as I click on a category I get greeted with “<b>The
group could not be queried</b> Running the transaction failed” and under
more details it cites that it failed to get a TID because of a security
policy”…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I immediately went to Google to see if there was an answer
to be found that would make me look like a n00b, but there isn’t -
there is only some acknowledgements that the error has been noticed – no solution.
All of my Software Sources are missing, so even if a patch is to be released, I
won’t be able to see it at this point. I know that wiping and re-installing
is the Windows way of fixing this, but I was wondering – is there a way
to just ‘undo’ the updates that I applied the other day? I know
that Linux doesn’t have the ‘Restore Point’ functionality,
but shouldn’t there be a way to remove/regress packages (with no Software
Source) to get back to a version that is preferred/functional?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not really worried at this point – just that
I haven’t had to re-format for almost a week now (last one was due to
some bad ATI drivers…), and was hoping to keep it going a few more days
before I do something else foolish to my new OS.<o:p></o:p></p>
