Yum stalling

It appears that the RPM database needs rebuilding if a yum process is killed
prematurely, since it probably had the RPM db open and now it’s in an inconsistent
state.

The steps :

  • Kill all yum and rpm processes.
  • rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
  • rpm –rebuilddb

    (add -vv if you want to see what it’s doing)

  • Retry
    yum update

    .
