The "some junk" there would be useful to debug things. ;) 
In fact the output leading up to that would also be useful. 

Anyhow, poking around some I ran into: 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896146

which indicates that the problem may be worked around by doing a 'yum
clean all' and trying the update again. Does that work for you?

Cool. 

Are you on a console/vty? Or a graphical desktop via a terminal? 

If in a console, it's not so easy. :) If in a terminal you should
simply be able to select the text with a mouse and right click to get
'copy' and go and right click and 'paste' in another application.
