Following up on my own message, I did an strace on yum
and see the following:
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 29For a variety of reasons, I'm still using F8 on my laptop.
I've been keeping up-to-date whenever new packages appear.
Today I see that there are a number of new packages:

but yum hangs during the 'transaction test'
CPU time goes to zero... there is no activity.
I tried 'yum clean all'... no change.
I tried yum install of only a single package, and it still hangs.
I tried turning on debug:

Does anyone have any suggestions?

/mnt/temp was something I had NFS mounted earlier on today,
but I suspended my laptop and took it home, so the mountpoint
isn't valid right now.
So yum does a stat on all mountpoints, for some reason, and if they don't
exist, the OS hangs the process. Who knows, it may eventually time out,
but life is/was too short to wait for timeout.
