Not running yum-updatesd. This is the job that is hanging nightly...

# cat /etc/cron.daily/rpm
#!/bin/sh

/bin/rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' 2>&1 \
        | /bin/sort > /var/log/rpmpkgs


Probably not mission-critical. I removed the script until I get this
fixed. There's a nearly identical version of this script in Mandriva
(just has the absolute paths removed from the bins), and it works fine.
