Comment (by segher):

 Replying to [ticket:931 ianb]:
 > On a build239 machine (or image), when I run yum (e.g., {{{yum -y
 install subversion}}}) it goes through the entire process, finds the
 packages that need to be installed, but only installs one package.  If you
 run it again, it installs another package, etc., until finally there are
 no missing prerequisites and it installs the actual packages you were
 requesting.

 I've seen this as well; it seems it is simply running out of
 memory (but not giving any error message).  Switch to
 runlevel 1 before running yum and everything appears to
 work fine.
