Hello everyone,
I had to kill yum while it's on the cleanup stage (somehow it stalled so i killed it).
Should I be worried about anything in this situation? If so, how do I go about fixing it?
I had to do that on one of our servers the other day after a 4.2 -> 4.3 Yum update. I was a little worried but after reboot the system seemed fine.
Eep. Actually, checking more closely, I appear to have ended up in the same state as Dave in the "futex.. How to remove lots of duplicate packages" thread...

I have a bunch of duplicate packages I'm going to have to sort through manually and remove the older versions...
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -d apr.i386 audit.i386 autofs.i386

ypbind.i386 yum.noarch
Crap. :)
Will.
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. :-(
