No hung yum processes for me this morning (mostly SL5.2 systems, a few
SL5.0) and yum.log shows all the updates as being installed, but I
have noticed something a little odd. Some (not all) of the yum.cron
emails this morning included the message:
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running
yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
Running yum-complete-transaction gives the following messages (among
others):
Removing:
cups i386 1:1.3.7-8.el5_3.6 installed 9.8 M
cups-libs i386 1:1.3.7-8.el5_3.6 installed 317 k
nfs-utils-lib i386 1.0.8-7.2.z2 installed 103 k
popt i386 1.10.2-48.el5 installed 121 k
and then a stream of messages about other stuff which also needs to be
removed, so I aborted the command when given the chance. yum update
worked normally (it updated the kernel but nothing else).
I wonder if it's significant that "yum list cups" mentions only one
version:
cups.i386 1:1.3.7-8.el5_3.6 installed
but the other three packages mentioned all seem to have two versions
installed e.g.:
cups-libs.i386 1:1.3.7-8.el5_3.6 installed
cups-libs.i386 1:1.3.7-11.el5_4.3 installed
