It's been nearly a month, and still no answers. Is that why "yum update"
is apt to hang? (It hung all night recently.)

My yum.conf, which I don't recall changing, is : 
                             =====
[root at localhost root]# cat /etc/yum.conf | more
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
  
[base]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base
baseurl=http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/yellowdog/yum/4.0/base/
  
[updates]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates

name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras

[root at localhost root]#
	                  =====

My typical result, when I do get one, as just now, is :
                          =====
[root at localhost root]# yum update
