Yum and RPM's hang after install of Apache and cups on FC 1

[Gilbert Sebenste]

Hello all,

I can't get "yum update" to work on Fedora Core 1 after I:

1. Installed cups and httpd from:
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates-testing/i386/
(by downloading them and doing a "rpm -Fvh *.rpm"; the installs seem to 
have gone fine.

2. Typed "yum update". Here is my yum.conf file:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=4
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
#distroverpkg=fedora-legacy
tolerant=1
exactarch=0
retries=1

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever base
#baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/os/$basearch
baseurl=http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/os/$basearch

#[updates]
#name=Fedora Core $releasever updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/updates/$basearch

[legacy-utils]
name=Fedora Legacy utilities for Fedora Core $releasever
baseurl=http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/legacy-utils/$basearch

[updates-testing]
name=Fedora Core $releasever updates
baseurl=http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/updates-testing/$basearch

3. When I type "yum update", the following output occurs (debug level set 
to "4"...

# yum update

I have also tried this with the default URLs from the 
http://www.fedoralegacy.org/download/ site for FC1. Doesn't work. It also 
hangs after the part where it tries to find the "[updates]".

Now, I also notice this morning that several processes have hung on my 
system:

29442 ?        S      0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily
31730 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/rpm
31731 ?        S      0:00 awk -v progname=/etc/cron.daily/rpm progname {?????  
31732 ?        S      0:05 /usr/lib/rpm/rpmq -q --all --qf %{name}-%{version}-%{

I have also typed "yum clean" but that hangs too. What's going on? Any 
help appreciated.
