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?
