Well, if you could have observed the progress of yum update while<br>it was taking place, you would have seen the yum uses the <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">cursor package to display the progress of the download of a particular<br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">component of the update.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Yum is usually downloading 4 components (packages) at a time, and<br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">shows the progress in amount of bytes (or K bytes or M bytes) transferred<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">
once every second or so.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">So, in the output, you are seeing that progress of a package, which is<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">
yum history displays as the number of the package in the download sequence,<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">followed by how many bytes were transferred.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">
For example packages 93 to 98 were being downloaded simultaneously<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">(separate threads???) and the progress of the TOTAL transfer for these<br>packages gets displayed in the form you see.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Hope this helps!<br><br><br></div><br></div></div></div></div>
