From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Red Hat/1.7.8-1.1.3.1 Description of problem: After U5 was released, I ran 'up2date -u' on my systems. On two of them, up2date hung when it seemed that it would be just about finished. There was no rpm process running but running 'rpm -qa' revealed that there were duplicate versions (both the old and the new one) available of several packages. I was able to recover by killing up2date (kill -9 was required) and then manually running 'rpm -U --replacepkgs' on the latest version of the packages that were duplicated. I have a sysreport from before I did the recovery available if anyone would be interested. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. run 'up2date -u' on ~100 machines and hope for the worst )-: Additional info:
As a RHEL customer could you raise this via support channels: https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ See the support note https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi You will not see rpm processes when running up2date as it uses the rpm-python library.
