I may have been mistaken when I originally said the wait was while resolving dependencies. The long wait occurs immediately *before* the "Resolving Dependencies" is printed. Once the "Resolving Dependencies" is printed, the header downloads and the rest of the update continue normally.
Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished (wait an hour + ) Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages..
During the wait, there is continuous disk activity. and no network
activity.
This has been going on for a while (it didn't just start today)
I did a yum clean all to see if it would help but it did not.
that's fascinatingly different than what I'm seeing. How much memory do you have.. and how much memory is the yum process using during that (wait an hour+) I'm definitely not experiencing this on my rawhide box.

after removing primary.xml.gz, primary.xml.gz.sqlite and repomd.xml from /var/cache/yum/development the problem has been solved. It looks like the new primary.xml.gz.sqlite file that was created is substantially small (6.6mb vs 7.2mb) while the other recreated files are exactly the same size.
thanks for all the help Richard Hally
