Comment 14 for bug 276503

I have successfully restored my system, using the update method
described in the discussion of both bugs. I am blogging about it as
well, so the good word get's out as far as it can. Hopefully we can
prevent a few hung-systems, if not all of them.

The Update Manager does not appear to have updated, but I still have one
and everything else seems fine.

Superstition: can some of these problems be the result of attacks on
update/upgrade systems? Just a thought.
