I started a yum upgrade process. When it reached 342/784 (@avahi) over half

During F20->F21 upgrade I had to run along something like
while sleep 1;do killall systemctl;done
(the real command was longer) as many %post scripts tried to restart their
daemon but during the upgrade each systemctl command was timing out with very
long delay.
I had that as well - the cause is that systemd asserts and goes into
panic mode which means it no longer responds to systemctl calls. It
didn't happen to all my machines but it did to a couple of them.
The fix is to kill the dbus-daemon process - after that the systemctl
calls will still fail but will do so quickly rather than slowly.
You will also won't be able to do a clean reboot so will have to resort
to something like "sync; reboot -ff" to reboot after it completes.
