Hello,
about one hour ago, I did a "yum update" on a remote centos 4.3 server. It said:
Install 2 Package(s) Update 60 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 103 M Is this ok [y/N]: y
then, after downloading:
Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction
Running Transaction Updating : libgcc ##################### [ 1/124] Updating : python-urlgrabber ##################### [ 2/124] Updating : hwdata ##################### [ 3/124]
and so on (note 124 packages, not 62), until it arrived at:
Editing /etc/postfix/master.cf, adding missing entry for tlsmgr service Updating : yum ##################### [ 62/124] Cleanup : coreutils ##################### [ 63/124] Cleanup : net-tools ##################### [ 64/124] Cleanup : tar ##################### [ 65/124] Cleanup : postfix ##################### [ 66/124] Cleanup : file ##################### [ 67/124] Cleanup : grep ##################### [ 68/124] Cleanup : newt ##################### [ 69/124] Cleanup : python-sqlite ##################### [ 70/124] Cleanup : rpm-build ##################### [ 71/124] Cleanup : mkinitrd ##################### [ 72/124] Cleanup : e2fsprogs ##################### [ 73/124]
and then nothing more. It has remained stuck at that line for almost one hour now. Is something funny happening? What should I do? Hit Control-C, halt the system from another shell (during an upgrade????)? or should I simply ignore it?
I have no problem to reinstall/reconfigure something if need be. I'm just worried to lose any contact with the server if I do the wrong thing during an apparently frozen update.
TIA, Marco
