Sounds like the usual "stale locks" issue with RPM since Red Hat Linux 8.0. Erase the temporary files in /var/lib/rpm after you terminated yum (and what you refer to as "related processes"): rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.* rpm -vv --rebuilddb If that doesn't fix it, post your yum.conf, so we know what servers you tried to access. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.5-1.358
