FC4: Yum hangs after interrupting update

Hello all,

I accidentally interrupted yum when it was updating on a machine. Now,
when I type "yum update", it hangs after downloading all of the metafiles,
but just before the point where it downloads the package headers.

I used to be able to type "yum rebuilddb" to clean it out, but that 
option is no longer there. Who's got the answer? I bet it's...you! :-)

Seriously, though, thanks for any help!

(P.S. I have also noticed with the latest FC4 yum that if you don't do a 
yum clean all every once in a while, it won't pick up all of the new 
packages.)
