We have an RPM created from a TGZ which includes a set of files to be installed at /usr/glassfish. For some reason, yum gets stuck while Running Transaction (stuck for hours, doesn't continue...). Tried to attach a screenshot but serverfault won't let me.

Any idea why?

"Any idea why?" refers to the yum problem, not the fact serverfault won't let me add an image. – Yon Dec 14 '10 at 7:08
What happens when you install the package by hand? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 14 '10 at 11:07

You could try to use strace to have a look at what yum is actually doing. Maybe it could also help to do a yum clean all, you might need to run yum-complete-transaction afterwards.

Also just installing the RPM with rpm -Uvh your-rpm-file.rpm might give you more insight.
