Well, I ran it once, and it gave me a lot of errors, then
suggested the usual rpm command and the --skipbroken command. I ran the
rpm command, then "yum clean all" for good measure; then I arrowed up to
the command above, and added --skipbroken to it.
Next time I looked, it was racing through its items faster than
I've ever seen it do, on and on, and on. I fact, it's still doing it. If
anyone had told me all this fifty years ago, I wouldn't've believed a
word of it.
I think, assuming this succeeds, that it's time to go through the
lists in yumex or packagekit, looking for things I know I never use, and
uninstalling them on general principles.
MUCH LATER (in fact, next day): I left it still running when I
went to bed. This morning it had stopped, saying that it had been killed,
but not when nor why. I restarted it, and it's still running.
