It gets as far as telling me:
Total download size: 207 M
It doesn't ask if its ok. But if I type y<enter> it reports: Is this ok [y/N]: Downloading Packages:
Then it does nothing. I can't kill it with CRTL-C, but I killed the yum process with kill -9 from another window. I retried it several times; same result.
Thanks for your help.

I just did an update to get the bind stuff, NP. Maybe running yum with incrreased verbosity (I can't recall the parameters) will give you a starting point?

tried deleting /var/lib/rpm/__* after killing all yum processes?

tried deleting /var/lib/rpm/__* after killing all yum processes?
Yum has command line options to do its housecleaning which I would try first.
yum help clean
What does deleting the __db files do that the yum clean all doesn't? (which I notice doesn't delete those specific files)

Yum clean all only does housekeeping on yum's files. It does not fix any problems in the underlying rpm database. Deleting the __db files will usually clean up after improperly closed rpm sessions. You usually have to follow the deletion with "rpm --updatedb" for it to do anything.
