You could try a yum -clean all and see if it helps, but the Whitebox updates
are a little out of date, and John seems to be busy with other things.
There was talk of someone here starting another update repository, but haven't
seen any more talk for a couple of months.
I don't want to start another flame war with the comment "update to the other
distro". That didn't go over too well last time.
But someone else might jump in and suggest it.
