Recently I had a yum update problem like this, too. So for this one plugin I
downloaded an rpm. I don't understand the output below. I've tried deleting
the pid file to see if that freed up the process but no joy. The archive
suggests making sure no other process is running. I've logged out and back
in, which I would have thought would terminate my user processes. Anyone?
