.. install failed!

No packages were installed. Check the messages above for the cause of the error.

I've checked /usr/libexec/usermin and /usr/libexec/webmin - both do exist, packages dependent already installed also, but still getting this error and update will not install. Is it a bug?

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Comments

Does running "yum clean all" as root at the command line first fix this?
