Re: FC4: yum is sleeping indefinitely



More info: the hung program has these sockets open. Is there anyway I can forcibly close them?

[root@mymachine01 ~]# netstat --inet -p

I am in the process of upgrading an FC4 machine. It was an "install everything", so there was 600+ packages to be updated.

Before doing a full yum update, I updated yum itself, the kernel, and rebooted. That was yesterday.

Since I had to leave the machine unattended at out hosting company, I did the following and went away:

nohup yum -y update &

Hours later, I see the following output file (it seems yum output less than it should into stdout)...

...and the yum proces is sleeping, wasting no CPU, and it seemingly is never going to finish. If I do a rpm -qa, it shows both versions of the updated packages, old and new. Pstree shows there's no processes spawned by the yum process.

Am I utterly and completely screwed? Should I abort yum and do it again? Do I have to make some kind of rebuild?
