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 at localhost ~]# yum clean all Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 17097. Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit... If pid file is removed then I can do clean all, however the processes still exist: [root at localhost ~]# rm /var/run/yum.pid rm: remove regular file `/var/run/yum.pid'? y [root at localhost ~]# yum clean all Cleaning up Everything [root at localhost ~]# ps ax | grep -i yum* 16794 ?
