Apologies, I was not able to receive email responses to my email server, hence lost of thread... Something seems to be wrong with my email server, if anyone spots a problem, with my email server, please let me know what you see? I fired off a message to administrator of this mailing list asking for a resolution as to why I am not receiving emails from fedora-list. The odd thing is, that I forgot my password to fedora-list and fired off password request and "immediately" received it - via my email server - perhaps a different mechanism? Hmm... In response to Craig White: ==================== You said that the `waiting for other tasks' eventually went away, and I left mine on - and it never went away for a looong time - so how long did you have to wait? Seems that for both F9 & F10, the problem persists (and it's annoying), and it hangs around for an hour before I gave up and rebooted. But what is particularly bad, is that I cannot make any more selections nor move to another group category in "Add/Remove Software" because that and any other requests are added to the Yum-backend queue, whereas `Waiting for other tasks" is first line line in the queue waiting to be completed, and it never finishes.
