I got many replies to my mail that answer many of my questions. Thanks to all. > There is a significant delay between these two pieces: > Setting up Upgrade Process > Resolving Dependencies >...is this when you are doing a full "yum upgrade" or upgrading a > specific package too? How long is the delay? I get the delay in doing a full "yum upgrade". Even when not specifying --verbose, a percentage status similar to downloading repodata can be used for "Setting up Upgrade/Install Process". > Control C works, but it needs to reach a break point.

IMHO, Using ctrl-c to quit should work instantaneously when yum is still fetching repodata or downloading packages. > yum -C info <installed-package> > from --help: > -C, --cacheonly run entirely from system cache, don't update > cache If there is a way for yum to know that the package is installed by looking up its name, it can eliminate the need for even specifying -C here. > Kind of, we used to have non-root users use root's cache ... but that > caused lots of annoying problems. > I "have a plan" for Fedora 18, that should make things better.
