When installing a package with yum, what is happening when 'Verifying' is displayed?
Issue
Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3, the output of yum install contains lines with Verifying:
RHEL6.3 the yum command is making a new 'Verifying step', as shown below:
# yum install apr
[...]
Running Transaction
Installing : apr-1.3.9-3.el6_1.2.x86_64 1/1
Installed products updated.
Verifying : apr-1.3.9-3.el6_1.2.x86_64 1/1
[...]
Why is Verifying displayed, what is happening at that point in time? Is there a way to bypass it?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.3 and later
