    Yum's view of what is present or missing is based entirely on the rpm
    database. So that's where your problem is. The question is why. Have
    you creashed for forced termination of rpm or yum processing? If this
    is a recurring problem on different distros then chances are there is
    either a hardware problem or a procedural problem.
