I don't know the answer to your question, but I have a suggestion for finding out.  First as a normal user, copy .bashrc
in your home directory to .bashrc.bak.  Then edit .bashrc, making some trivial changes, and exit.  Go to a new text
console, Ctl-Alt-F2 - F6.  Login and see if the new .bashrc causes you any problems.  If it does, you have your answer,
if not, go to the next step.

As root, go to /etc, and copy yum.conf to yum.conf.bak.  Then as root edit yum.conf.  Make a trivial change and exit.
Run yum update.  If there is no problem, you have your answer that there is no problem.  If there is a problem, you also
have your answer.
