Description of problem:I started the software updater and it started downloading
the updates and as it was taking a long time I left it doing this. When I
returned the server would not respond. I had to do a hard reboot. Now when I
start the software I get an error that says " An unhandled exception has
occurred. This is most likeley a bug. Please save the crash dump and file a

can you report the output of:

rpm -qa | grep yum

I think you have a duplicate yum-metadata-parser.

Comment 5 James Antill 2009-03-25 05:48:05 UTC
Yeh, we've seen this before ... when doing the update from 5.1 to 5.2 a few people reported aborted rpm transactions and were left with multiple y-m-p packages.
