The only think that 's the same on them is that they both use > software RAID ( there's no reason that should mess up anything ). ---- issues of rpm database corruption and yum-updatesd service running are separate except for yum-updatesd expects you to have a working rpm database and failing that, I can see where yum-updatesd is not gonna be happy (though it still shouldn't leak memory). Indeed with FC-6 we have had rpm db corruption at the levels unseen since RHL 8.0 I would expect that an updated yum-updatesd on a system with a functioning rpm database should work as expected.
