[BlueOnyx:22036] Aventurin{e} CentOS 7.5 issue

[Michael Stauber]

Hi all,

The YUM updates for CentOS 7-5 have dropped last night and if you have
auto-updates enabled, your 5209R's should have updated to CentOS 7.5
just fine.

However: If you run 5209R on Aventurin{e} as VPS, then your YUM update
may be stuck in a fashion similar to this:

 1105 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/CROND -n
 1114 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ /bin/bash
/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/swupdate/yum-update.sh
 1441 ?        S      1:54  |   \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum -y update
22608 ?        S      0:00  |       \_ /bin/sh /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.M6g0b0 2
22616 ?        S      0:00  |           \_ /usr/bin/dbus-send --system
--type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /
org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig

As you can see, an update is trying to run "/usr/bin/dbus-send", but
this never finishes, preventing the rest of the YUM updates to complete.

The fix? Login by SSH, run "ps axf|grep /usr/bin/dbus-send|grep -v grep"
and see if it reports this process.

If so, kill it off with "kill -9 <PID>" and insert the process ID of the
"dbus-send" process.

The YUM update will then continue just fine.

Other than that the update seems to have caused no further issues.
