After starting yum it was doing a 300+ pkg update, and it never

In addition I cannot issue a Ctrl-C command, I must hit Ctrl-Z and do a
kill -9 on the yum process. How do I find out what yum is doing and how
to get it back to normal?
This is what yum says now:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
[1]+ Stopped ./u
[root@localhost ]# ps aux |grep yum
How about grep rpm ?
If rpmq is there and you it could takes more than 5 minutes to resolve
dependencies {especially if cpu is slow, or ram less than 384M}, then
you might need to nuke rpmq.
Can you update a single package eg yum update yum ?
You can add debug logging to yum with
# yum -d15 update yum
