[SOLVED] Kernel update failure

I used to have Mageia 5 on a 32-bit PC. Then for several years I did not use Mageia at all, until I installed Mageia 7 on a 64-bit Dell laptop last week. It's a very basic installation, not dual-booting, Cinnamon desktop and there are no encrypted files. Booted this laptop on 29 December and got my first notice of updates ready to install. Started the process using Mageia Control Center and updates seemed to install okay (I wasn't paying close attention) except for a kernel update failure message. I restarted and now MCC seems broken- it won't open. So, I opened the terminal and tried completing the update, however, "package kernel-desktop-5.4.6-2.mga7-1-1.mga7.x86_64 does not verify". I possess only rudimentary skills with Linux. How can I remedy this?
