From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: This morning (7:30 AM US Pacific Standard Time), I attempted to do a full yum update of my system. This was unsuccessful, as a dependency for openoffice-core was not found. I then updated tomboy (via yum update tomboy), and the procedure went as expected. I then did a 'yum clean all', followed by 'yum upgrade'. Yum downloaded the files (primary.xml.tar.gz), and after this step, yum froze. Performance of the system dragged considerably, I was able to log into tty1 and kill the python process executing yum. Trying a few other ideas, yum eventually hung the system, requiring a reboot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.5.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute 'yum update' Actual Results: yum hangs Expected Results: yum should update the system, if possible and necessary. Additional info:
The same problem here too. After some research though it seems that it's an sqlite's (version 3) problem. I have downgraded to sqlite 3.2.8 and yum and rpm seem to work fine. I downloaded the package from a mirror that hasn't synced yet to the main repository. (http://mirrors.cytanet.com.cy/linux/fedora/linux/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/) I am also not aware if this downgrade produces any other issues with some other packages, but I guess it would be of less importance than a non-working yum.
