Re: [CentOS] yum install hangs

Carlos Santana a écrit :

Thanks Niki.

More specifically it hangs after: Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test

If I did yum clean all while app. is running then I get following message: [root@localhost ~]# yum clean all Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 17097.

In that case, I bet this is your yum-updatesd daemon interfering. Try this:

# service yum-updatesd stop

And then:

# chkconfig yum-updatesd off

Basically, you can't have two instances of Yum running at the same time. Up to CentOS 5.2, yum-updatesd defaulted to on, but I understand since 5.3 it defaults to off.

Cheers,

Niki
