Re: yum is stuck

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If there is nothing on:

i) /var/log/yum.log and/or /var/log/messages
ii)You launch top and you see a restorecon process which can take a long time (frequently occurs when selinux policies are updates)

probably the yum process itself has been halted. Then:

1)Check that your /etc/grub.conf file is normal (especially if a kernel update was due)
2)Reboot the workstation in the new kernel
3)Do a yum clean all, followed by a yum -y update.

If there are any problems, yum should complain about unfinished transactions on step 3. In that case, you could also issue a yum-complete-transaction between steps 2 and 3. The 'yum clean all' step just cleans the repo metadata cache, it will not delete your repositories or packages.

I ran "yum update" on my RedHat systems this morning.  All the upgrades
completed successfully except on one system running Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Workstation release 6.3 (Santiago).

The update is stuck at

Cleanup    :

   Cleanup    :
kexec-tools-2.0.0-245.el6.x86_64

There were no problems listed in the update procedure.

What should I do now?
