I am disappointed to say that the yum-updatesd still does not update
anything.  Who does it work for?


I can run yum manually and it does see updates.  However, the
yum-updatesd daemon does not appear to find the updates, or it does
not find them.  Then it locks up the yum process, as in:

# yum update
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 2862. Aborting.

# ps aux | grep yum
root      2862  0.0  5.1 100456 79436 ?        SN   Aug13   0:06
/usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
root     10505  0.0  0.0   4012   712 pts/0    S+   13:31   0:00 grep yum


That yum-updatesd has been running since yesterday, it seems unlikely
it will ever do anything.  So

# ps aux | grep yum
root      2862  0.0  5.1 100456 79436 ?        SN   Aug13   0:06
/usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
root     10505  0.0  0.0   4012   712 pts/0    S+   13:31   0:00 grep yum
# yum update

yum-updatesd must be working for somebody, or else it seems there
would be more conversation about it.  But I have not been able to find
anybody for whom it does work!
