I think you can delete this trouble:
- download yumex (yum install yumex) - this is graphic interface
for yum 2. Go to File >> Parameters >> Installed plugins 3. Put off flag from checkbox))
Hmm... it looks like what is really hanging is rpm. It freezes up.
So, I guess the next question is: how do I fix this? I cannot even rebuild the rpm database since rpm itself hangs?
service yum-updatesd stop ps aux|grep yum # kill off any running yum processes ps aux|grep rpm # kill off any running rpm processes
# if necessary, delete the region db's...
rm /var/lib/rpm/__*db
# then
rpm --rebuilddb
error...region files...
rm /var/lib/rpm/__* rpm --rebuilddb

yup! That did the trick!
Thanks Craig! Dan
