If you are using yum via the unoffical fedora faq, and/or the livna 
repositories, I think it could cause this.

I'm using the yum.conf from the UFAQ at fedora.artoo.net and my up2date 
button went red last night for "xmms-mp3". Up2date hung just as you 
describe.

Running it from the command line ("# yum update") resulted in a circular 
dependency loop for xmms and xmms-mp3....I've posted elsewhere about it.

Could be the same for you?
