thanks for the details - As the server lives in a closet without a monitor on it or even easy access I opted for Webmin so as to have the ability to get in and work with it.
I will resubscribe and get back into a better habit - I had been checking every day a year ago, and then life got busy.
Things were fine, and I had no trouble the in January when i put a monitor on it for some other reasons - but after the hang today it now is stuck.
As my cut and past below indicates, the "yum clean all" results in a consistent set of errors - any yum command seems to return the same errors.
Regardless of how or why they were caused, the issue now is how to clear them out so that I can actually get yum to work -
[root@trailrunner yum]# yum clean all Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 29, in ? import cli File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 30, in ? import output File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 26, in ? from i18n import _ ImportError: No module named i18n [root@trailrunner yum]#
This looks like a problem with python to me. Try removing the python RPM and reinstalling, perhaps?
