I'd prefer not to. Yum is able to download files just fine, it's the install process that breaks somehow. I just found that the hang is due to yum taking up 100% and stays there for like 20 minutes before it exits.

Maybe it's choking through bad data in the RPM database. Have you tried a "rpmdb --rebuilddb"?

Thanks for the tip. It didn't work but I googled your suggestion and found the underlying problem to be a sqlite/python binding issue. So I manually installed python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.x86_64.rpm and things work again :-)

Thanks.
