Try this
1. Remove ALL sources from Software manager
2. rpm --rebuilddb
3. Give software manager some sources again.
If this cures the problem, then see if you can cause it again, but this time
take notes <g>. There does appear to be a bug in this code and the symptoms
are really confusing. (And it sure doesn't help when everyone here knows
exactly how to use the software--it is some sort of error-recovery that must
not be happening as anticipated, and we can't seem to reproduce it :-/
