Processing a huge number of dependancies (very likely going from

the sqlite changed).
Tried that with a "yum -y update yum" but we're still getting clobbered.
Then, pay attention to the dependancy processing output and pick a few
packages at a time to upgrade. After a few passes like this, you
should
be able to revert to the normal update processing.
Good suggestion--I'll remember that if I ever get to the point where
it's starting to work :-)
Another strategy that might or might not work is to go to runlevel 3
(telinit 3) that eliminates all the graphical stuff and run from a
normal VT. If you don't have swap enabled, make a swap partition or
file
of decent size and try that.
We're already there--no X is installed or running. Swap partition is
set to 2GB--I suppose that I could add another swap file and see if
that gets me over the hump.
Yum is choking at the point where it print the first "processing
primary.xml.gz"
