[BlueOnyx:22793] Re: Yum issue on 5209R

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

I still have not been able to find a solution to this. When I run `yum
clean all`, it hangs forever. Also, I see these blueonyx-le-acme processes
start even though I have yum updates disabled in the GUI.

[root at www5 ~]# ps ax|grep yum
  357 tty1     S+     0:01 /usr/bin/python /bin/yum clean all
  358 tty1     S+     0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sausalito/sbin/cced_yum
  385 tty1     S+     0:10 /usr/bin/python /bin/yum reinstall
blueonyx-le-acme
 1049 ?        S      0:15 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum reinstall
blueonyx-le-acme
 7078 ?        S      0:11 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum reinstall
blueonyx-le-acme
 9456 ?        S      0:06 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum reinstall
blueonyx-le-acme
11834 ?        S      0:01 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum reinstall
blueonyx-le-acme

At first, I get one of these blueonyx-le-acme entries, now there are five
after starting the clean all process couple of hours ago. I have tried
quitting the process, killall yum processes including these above, run all
the commands I posted previously and clean any lock files in /var/lib/rpm
and it still hangs in the same manner. Anyone know how I can get the Yum
updates working again?
