Yum update seems to have stalled

[Claude Jones]

I'm doing a reinstall and am now going through the update process.
It found a huge number of upgrades and was moving through them,
but now, on 933/969 it's been stalled for half an hour on
'completing update for gimp'. Is this normal? If not, what happens
if I abort? If I choose to abort, is there a preferred way?
