I just tried to do a yum update on FC8 and received this message:

I ran Yum through Webmin as I tend to do every moth or so and the system seemed to lockup - after about 2 hours I reboot only to find that I can't get a login directly at the server - the cursor just spins and spins.
I can get there through a terminal ssh connection from another system in the network and from Webmin - the problem persists.
The above suggestions have not results in glory -
[root@trailrunner yum]# yum clean all

ImportError: No module named i18n
[root@trailrunner yum]#
Hope someone has a clue how to fix this and what I can do to get the login to actually work on the server itself rather than going through a terminal ssh window.
Feeling very uneasy at the moment - the system has been up and stable, with regular updates for quite some time now.
