This is the second time on a version upgrade that I've been hit with the futex wait issue. Last time I hung with about 5 packages to go, this time it hung with about 50 packages on the clean up. Now I have loads of duplicate packages, any way to search and/or remove them without trying to do it manually?
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" | sort | uniq -d
This should give us a list of duplicated packages.
Unfortunately, you will have to check them yourself to make sure you remove the older version. Had to do that myself yesterday on a server of mine with messed up selinux contexts.
I recomend analysing the scripts for each package, and then deciding if you will use "--noscripts" or not for removing. Things can get ugly pretty quick if you are not careful when removing duplicated packages.
