You're not trying to troll? You posted as anonymous and you're not trying to troll?

The bug you're describing above was in FC6T2 and maybe remaining in T3. It has been fixed in the release version.

Also - when have you last used yum? I think you'll find 3.0 to be a lot faster than anything that came before it.

But you're not trying to Troll, of course not.

The last time I used yum was in the "fc6-pre" release, in which the bug I described was still present.

Rather than trying to respin the entire comment as a "troll", try addressing the problem. Sarcasm doesn't really help any.

FC6 with all of the latest updates *still* has the problem as originally described. Be it a python bug or not, the fact of the matter is that yum-updatesd is _the_ process that is tickling that bug.

Additionally, the problem with "Yum already running" is definitely true. I bumped in to it right away when I went to update several of the systems. It complained that yum was already running.. after some investigation, I realized that yum-updatesd was running, and, although no other yum process was running, it was still giving a "Yum already running" error.

After killing off yum-updatesd, I was able to run "yum -y update" without any incident.

CentOS 5 (based on RHEL5, based on Fedora Core 6) has the problem also. Disappointing.
