Is there some "run recovery" that's different than --rebuilddb?

no but perhaps your /dev/sdb7 has some corruption itself.

You might try something like 'shutdown now -Fr' to force an fsck on
reboot

Thanks for the suggestion, but no, it checks clean. Badblocks comes up clean also.

So it looks like all these packages should be upgraded, but yum says no.

I remember at least a few of those being in the update list before yum went berserk, so something sure looks off-track here.

Hmm... out of desperation, I ran another "yum clean all" and now it's picking up all those updates. So I wasn't crazy--yum was just fouled up again.

Suggestions welcome--let's see if I can actually do the updates this time. Two down, five left.

<Joe


try
df -h / /var /usr

I don't remember what all went wrong when it happened to me (been a few years), but if the system does not have enough space to hold the update rpms AND apply the updates at the same time, then you can get several things about doing updates messed up.

On systems with limited disk space, I usually hand yum update a few packages at a time with `yum clean`s in between each yum update.

at 200MB free in /var/ it looks like you have enough space to download all of the updates, the question is: are / and /usr similarly provisioned with free space?
