Here is the last of the output after running the first test repo update command in comment #73 on the Bug1832138VM.zip VM I built.
I'm guessing either there is an integrity issue upstream or more likely there is a missing step so that a system that has been using the default repo settings is superseded by the test repo for the updated package(s). If I ignore these errors and upgrade after update I get the 49 year hang on reboot.
