XFree86 lib problems

[Theodore Omtzigt]

Mmm: at this point no program that updates the system seems to work:

rpm, up2date, and yum all start but then simply hang waiting for
something.

What is going on under the hood here? What is broken when rpm et. all
don't seem to be able to make any progress?
