Thanks. Installed. IMHO, one should always be able to run "yum -y update" without fear of such damage. Maybe that's naive, but with the exception of yesterday's run, it's worked for me for more than two years of rawhide and F10..F13.
except we don't know what happened yesterday.
You didn't happen to keep the depsolving output on the console did you?
I wish I'd been that prescient.
As mentioned, when I came back after the offending command had finished, all I could see in all terminal consoles were little rectangles in place of text. So while I could have saved it to file via "screen" (as long it was still within the 30k scrollback), I didn't think to do that.
Also - were there any plugins installed?
I think yum-fastestmirror was installed. Other than that, no.
