	Well, I ran it once, and it gave me a lot of errors, then 
suggested the usual rpm command and the --skipbroken command. I ran the 
rpm command, then "yum clean all" for good measure; then I arrowed up to 
the command above, and added --skipbroken to it.

	Next time I looked, it was racing through its items faster than 
I've ever seen it do, on and on, and on. I fact, it's still doing it. If 
anyone had told me all this fifty years ago, I wouldn't've believed a 
word of it. 

	I think, assuming this succeeds, that it's time to go through the 
lists in yumex or packagekit, looking for things I know I never use, and 
uninstalling them on general principles.

	MUCH LATER (in fact, next day): I left it still running when I 
went to bed. This morning it had stopped, saying that it had been killed, 
but not when nor why. I restarted it, and it's still running.
