Hello, I've got a CentOS 5 box. I want to install the uucp rpm to give access to the cu command. I do a yum -y install uucp and yum is hanging on the transaction test. I get the file downloaded fine, but on transaction test yum freezes and i have to kill it's pid to stop it. Any ideas? I'm looking for a program for serial terminals. Thanks. Dave.

dave, try "yum clean all " and then "yum update" hope that should resolve ... also check /var/log/yum.log

Can you install other packages via yum?
If not (all as root):
yum clean all cd /var/lib/rpm rm __db* rpm --rebuilddb
