Try running urpmi under strace, to see what is blocking it.Possible
causes, which is common with RPM based distros (I remember having this
a number of times when I used RedHat) is that your RPM DB might got
corrupted and needs to be rebuilt (used to remember how to do this,
but now that I am on Ubuntu, no need for that any more, so I
forgot...)
<warning:distro-propoganda>
Anyway, I would recommend switching to Ubuntu - the best Linux distro
I have used so far.
