try using strace -p PID-OF-YUM and output to mailinglist

Here's the last few lines of strace:

<snip>

... open("/var/lib/rpm/Packages", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4 fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=110592000, ...}) = 0 futex(0xb79b56ac, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL

It hangs there.

Significantly, this 'rpm' command hangs also:

# rpm -vv -V rpm D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0

So the problem may well be with 'rpm'.

You *might* want to consider rpm --rebuilddb

I forget, when I did that, if I had to get rid of/move /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
