Subject: yum and "rpm -U" not working
Reply-To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx

We are running 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen on our server.
Recently "yum update", "yum localinstall TIV*.rpm --nogpgcheck",
and versions of "rpm -U xterm" hang. yum hangs up on the transition
check after all the packages have been downloaded. "rpm -U" tells
me which dependencies that I need, but hangs if I include the
dependencies in the list of programs to upgrade.
"rpm --rebuildbd" seems to work.
How do I start debugging this problem?
I discovered that the rpm database may not be working correctly.
"rpm -qa kernel" brings back nothing
rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.4.1.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-128.4.1.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.4.1.el5
the /usr/src and /lib/modules for the kernel are on the system.
