Hello all,
I accidentally interrupted yum when it was updating on a machine. Now,
when I type "yum update", it hangs after downloading all of the metafiles,
but just before the point where it downloads the package headers.
I used to be able to type "yum rebuilddb" to clean it out, but that option is
no longer there. Who's got the answer? I bet it's...you! :-)
Seriously, though, thanks for any help!
I got this to work. Do two steps:
1. type: yum clean all
2. Reboot machine to clear whatever it is that is hanging yum.
