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?
Is there any clue in /var/log/yum.log?
<snip>
The kernel on which the system is running is xen, but the problem
with
rpm and yum still exists.
Ok, so is there anything in the yum.log, from when it failed? Have
you
tried rpm -Uvh xterm, to see if it said anything? Oh - and try rpm -
Uvvh -
I thought I remembered this, and yep, the man page sayeth "Print
lots of
ugly debugging information".
Let us know what happens if you try that.

Thanks, Mark and Gabi,
rpm -Uvvh xterm*rpm
ends with
D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages create mode=0x42
D: mounted filesystems:
D: i dev bsize bavail iavail mount point
We are also having problems with df working completely. df also hangs
after reporting most of the volumes that are mounted. We thought the
problems were unrelated. Perhaps a reboot will help.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Is /var/ one of the mount points is doesn't return? I would look at
disk issues if that's the case. A reboot may cause more damage than
it would fix if you have something really screwed up.

It is returning /var. When I first tried to update, /var was 100%
full. I moved things around using soft links
to free up space on /var.
