I ran the rpm command, then "yum clean all" for good measure; then I arrowed up to the command above, and added --skipbroken to it. Next time I looked, it was racing through its items faster than I've ever seen it do, on and on, and on. I fact, it's still doing it. If anyone had told me all this fifty years ago, I wouldn't've believed a word of it. I think, assuming this succeeds, that it's time to go through the lists in yumex or packagekit, looking for things I know I never use, and uninstalling them on general principles. MUCH LATER (in fact, next day): I left it still running when I went to bed. This morning it had stopped, saying that it had been killed, but not when nor why. I restarted it, and it's still running. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
