I have seen this behavior before as well. I've also seen it where yum-updater (which is evil and shouldn't be running, but in some cases hasn't been turned off yet by kickstart or puppet) will switch on and demolish a bootstrap Puppet run.
It would help if the yum handler was a little more verbose or had some kind of watchdog that could reap stale processes after a while. The hardest thing about this kind of problem is actually figuring out what causes the issue, since Puppet/Yum only log the action after it's completed. -Eric On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 2:04 AM, Adrian Snyman <a.sny...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 8:46 AM, Adrian Snyman <a.sny...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 8:02 AM, Adrian Snyman <a.sny...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 1:38 PM, Trevor Hemsley >>> <trevor.hems...@codefarm.com> wrote: >>>> You're not exec'ing some install program that is stopping and waiting for >>>> input?
