For some reason, when I try to run yum this morning it hangs: rgb@lilith|B:1062#yum list audacity Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories updates [1/3] updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 core [2/3] ftp://ftp.tecnoera.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] timed out Trying other mirror. core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras [3/3] extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 398 kB 00:15 updates : ################################################## 1094/1094 Added 1094 new packages, deleted 0 old in 7.06 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 767 kB 00:17 core : ################################################## 2207/2207 Added 2207 new packages, deleted 0 old in 9.82 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.6 MB 00:42 extras : ################################################## 5530/5530 Added 5530 new packages, deleted 0 old in 22.82 seconds rgb@lilith|B:1025>psgrep yum root 21331 16.2 2.9 26256 15304 pts/2 S+ 07:05 0:38 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum list audacity rgb 21360 0.0 0.1 3916 688 pts/4 R+ 07:09 0:00 grep yum rgb@lilith|B:1026>psgrep yum root 21331 11.8 2.9 26256 15304 pts/2 S+ 07:05 0:38 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum list audacity rgb 21369 0.0 0.1 3916 684 pts/4 R+ 07:11 0:00 grep yum rgb@lilith|B:1027> (ad nauseam, forever). It just sleeps. This is right after yum clean all, and yumex hangs the same way. The only way out is kill -9, as it is too hung for Ctrl-C to work. It worked fine last night up to maybe 10 pm, so I'm guessing that this is something in last night's FC5 update OR something odd in my particular installation. However, this is a recently re-installed system and hasn't been gooped up much. In fact, I need yum to goop it. In a bit I'll try to run it with maximum debugging and report. I'll also give it a half hour or so to complete. rgb -- Robert G.
