F9 install errors

I have done a fresh install of F9 on a Dell computer this was after doing a yum update

ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments () according to signature u's': <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: More items found in D-Bus signature than in Python arguments
Traceback (most recent call last):

Not sure what it all means

Try running yum in "safe" mode. i.e. first clean its state (the first command after su - below). Then disable plugins and run yum. If the error is because of any plugin or stale state, it will go away.

Code:
su -
yum clean all
yum --noplugins update
