[Yum-devel] yum history slowing down Fedora 17 install?

[Terje Røsten]

Hi guys,

my Fedora 17 install hangs for several mins after all packages are 
installed (progress bar is completed).

When doing ssh into system install at this stage and running strace on 
anaconda process I see lots of these and similar:

{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10, ...}) = 0

is this yum history or similar doing funky  things? This slows the 
install at least 10% I would guess.
