You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

i am little worried to reboot the box now.

Anyone has seen such issues & how to fix this without breaking stuff. Will it be safe to reboot ?

Thanks

Next time it happens, don't kill yum, switch to another session and run `ps fax` and see what yum is running that is stuck. If all else fails then killing that process will not kill yum and it will finish, even if with errors.
