Stan, thanks for explanation, and that detailed list
of yum commands.  I will do them, if i cant get that
old process awakened.


[root@f10 ~]# yum info yum\*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 8024.
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
  The other application is: PackageKit

    State  : Sleeping, pid: 8024

so, it is "Sleeping"
Any way to wake it up?
I had firefox off for 40min? no help, the process stayed
in its   sleeping state.
thanks
Jack
