When I try to run yum update, I get an error that tells me I have a
damaged header in the kernel-source header. Since I'm wanting to skip
updates related to the kernel anyways, is there a to either fix the yum
update kernel-source header, or get yum to skip on the kernel related
updates?
I'd use up2date, but there always seems to be some additional packages
to update that yum finds which up2date doesn't.
Here is the relevant output from yum. What you see on the last line is
symptomatic of the hang. It doesn't always hang at the same "%", but it
always hangs on that file:
