I had to kill yum while it's on the cleanup stage (somehow it stalled

4.3 Yum update. I was a little worried but after reboot the system
seemed fine.

apr.i386
audit.i386
autofs.i386

Indeed. "Crap" and its alias. I had a similar experience in updating
4.1 --> 4.2 and wound up reinstalling and restoring data in my
/home directory. :-(<br>
