YDL 2.2 install fails at transfering packages

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

I recently ran into this problem and it was because I didn't have
enough disk space to take all of the chosen packages.  When
I reduced the installed package set, YDL installed.  Unfortunately,
the error message isn't very informative.
