Just kill them. Actually, it was my mistake. After I successfully updated by deselecting kdepim update, I ran update again. The problem is, once updated is started, the auto update process does not take note of missing dependencies and deselect those failed updates. Instead, update just runs the failing updates over and over. I can kill all yum jobs if that's safe. I thought I read that could corrupt the update databass. > ~af > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
