Back when we originally tried to release this version of cups, we
determined that a newer version of rpm was needed.
But in our tests, we didn't have any systems just hang. They all were
spewing these odd messages.
What happens if you update rpm before updating cups?
Maybe we need to pull cups out of the repo for a week or two while rpm
get's updated on older SL 5 systems.

Hi,
Is anyone else seeing last nite's update "hang" on SL5.1 systems?
Near as I can tell, it's hanging on cups-1.3.7-11.el5_4.3.
I have 3 SL5.1 systems (all the 5.3 systems updated just fine)
that I did not get yum cron email from this morning, so went
investigating.
A 'ps auxw | grep yum' on one of the 5.1 systems yields:
root 10050 0.0 0.0 2372 960 ? S 02:55 0:00 /bin/sh

progname=/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron progname {????? print progname ":\n"?????
progname="";???? }???? { print; }

Looking at /var/log/yum.log, I see:

So, the cups-libs got installed.
On one of the 5.1 systems, last nite's yum did not run for some reason,
so I did it by hand and sure enough, it's stalled on cups (see end of
screen output below)

And there it sits, not getting any more cpu time.
Any ideas Troy & Connie?
Thanks!
