Hi - I've got up2date running on five servers - four 7.2 ones and a 6.2 setup. All has 
been working grand for the past couple of months, but I've recently stared having a 
problem where I can't update one server.

basically running up2date -u gives the following output:

Retrieving list of all available packages...
########################################

Removing installed packages from list of updates...
########################################

Removing packages marked to skip from list...
########################################

Getting headers for available packages...
########################################

Removing packages with files marked to skip from list...
########################################

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...

and then it just hangs there... forever...
on my other servers this step usually is completed in a matter of seconds?


checking top I notice that I still have the up2date process running... but it's not 
doing much:

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
 2465 root       9   0  6960 5948  1120 S     0.0 15.7   1:22 up2date


and running up2date -v causes the same hang, but at this point:

D: ========== tsorting packages (order, #predecessors, #succesors, tree, depth)

you can see full output for this at http://basic.dyndns.org/up2date_error.txt


As I said before up2date has been running on this server for a while now - performing 
a number of updates with no problems. I've also run similar updates on our other 
servers and they've completed successfully.

I've run "rpm --rebuilddb" and "up2date -p" thinking that it may have had to do with 
corrupt rpm database or package profile - but - no luck!

I'm going to try to work around the problem by installing updates manually (ugh) but 
would really appreciate any ideas as to what may be going wrong here.

TIA - dan.
