Got a box running 4.3 x86 and we're trying up get it updated to 4.6, but yum is consuming all available memory (1GB) and swap (2GB), and then the oom starts killing processes.
I've disabled all the optional repositories, done yum clean all, and still have the same problem even if I try to just update a specific package.
Google got me this link, but no obvious resolution: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? forum=8&topic_id=5588&viewmode=flat
Any pointers appreciated.
