"Do we have to make the API asynchronous?"
YES!!!
the best way to fix the progressbar hangs is multithreading.
let the gui draw its stuff, while a background thread does the real work.
yumex afaik works this way.
Unfortunately, introducing threading into an environment (rpm + sqlite)
which wasn't designed with threading in mind is a recipe for lots of ...
interesting problems.

Yes, running yum actions in a background tread was a world of pain, so
i have reversed the process and running the yum actions in the
foreground and having a background thread refresh the gui.
