Hi
As many ppl have read or expirenced, yum updates are suddenly turned into a
nightmare.
For 3 days now i cant update the system (and cPanel uses it too and hangs
also with updates).

# yum clean all (i hated this because it deleted 200+ packages that i wanted
to save for future boxes to update with to save bandwidth)
Cleaning up Everything

0 packages removed

At the moment is stalls on "dries" but also happens on the others.
This are the repo's i use:
########
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 Sep 21 19:04 dag.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 163 Sep 21 19:04 dries.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 255 Sep 21 19:04 extras.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233 Sep 21 19:04 fedora-devel.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 244 Sep 21 19:04 fedora.repo

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477 Sep 21 19:04 freshrpms.repo

and disabled the -testing -devel repo's.
I was in need to install a package but i went to the orginal site and
downloaded a source and compiled it. I realy want to see this fixed.
Because i am not the only user and i was not the first reporter of this.
I hope the FC team / yum team will take a close look on this.
If you are using third party repositories that fail FC team cant do
anything about that. If mirrors are failing yum team cant do anything
either. If you find bugs report them in bugzilla
