I have been running into lots of problems with yum-updatesd ever since installing Fedora Core 6, and this is apparently a fairly common issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212507 After running "yum-updatesd -f" (v3.0.3), I found a number of places where exceptions were thrown and yum locks not released (see attached log files). I don't understand the details of yum enough to figure out why it's throwing these exceptions all over the place (the "Index out of range" sounds like something else is definitely wrong), but the attached patch at least catches and tries to log or handle them. Empirically, yum-updatesd now no longer seems to hold the yum lock forever. Nickolai.
