By "stops" I meant it got to the transaction check, listed about 20
unresolved dependencies and went back to the prompt.

I managed to get it working last night. When I queried the unresolved
dependencies (rpm -q), two versions were listed. So I set about removing
one of the versions. Some were easy (rpm -e) some weren't (rpm -e
--nodeps). Once I'd removed every one "yum update" appeared to work
normally after that.

Hopefully the package database will be OK now.

Thanks for your reply...
