As Kam has said, there is a problem with the Jpackage repo. the best thing to
do, is on the CLI as root, edit /etc/yum.repos.d, changing the repo for
Jpackage to enabled=0, then run yum again.
I don't have this problem as I use Apt, and Apt if it has a problem with a
repo, just bypasses it. Yum seems to get confused if it can't find a repo,
and decides to go out to lunch, leaving you waiting forever.
