Installed Fedora 20 on laptop. Run first "yum update". Press "y" when prompted. System downloads packages and installs them, but then looks like it tries to reboot and hangs the system instead of doing cleanup stage. Forced power off and reboot. Looks like updated packages installed OK, but why does yum do this instead of verification / cleanup, and just returning to normal shell prompt?
Created attachment 862536 [details] photo of yum hang during clean up Attached a photo of another Fedora 20 yum hang on a different laptop. This time it did not look like an attempted reboot. Instead it just stopped in the middle of package cleanups and locked up the machine. I forced power cycle after waiting 10-15 minutes and trying to get consoles with ctrl-alt-f*. This is a bad and extremely annoying problem. Please make yum reliable soon. Thanks!!
Looks like the same underlying cause as it is in the bug 1063706. If you can confirm, let us know please. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1063706 ***
I would love to help get this fixed, but don't know how to confirm -- until a patch for bug 1063706 is available. If there is something I can do before then, please let me know. Thanks.
I guess testing the fix for bug 1063706 will be sufficient. Thanks in advance

Current systemd (systemd-208-14) seems to fix my yum update hanging problems. Successful update steps are: 1) Install stock F20 and reboot 2) yum update systemd* 3) reboot 4) yum update 5) reboot
