Sometimes when you issue a yum install ‘package’ yum stalls on ‘Parsing package install arguments’ message without downloading any package or showing us anything.
To quickly fix this do the following:
First, type ctrl+c and quit the yum process
-
killall -9 yum
-
rm -Rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
At this point, retrying the hung yum command should succeed.
You will probably need to run ‘yum clean all’ after cleaning up the above mess before yum can make progress.
