How long did you wait when reaching this point? I just attempted to replicate this issue on a fresh CentOS 7.4 droplet and found that while it did pause at this point for a couple minutes it did resume and complete.
Hello, mhmehedi
You can check if there are other processes that are locking yum at the same time. You can quickly check that using something like:
ps faux | grep yum
You can then kill/restart this process (if it’s safe to do so, e.g the process is not vital to the server system and will not cause issues to your sites/apps).
Additionally you can try to rebuild the RPM database and give it another go:
yum clean all
rpm --rebuilddb
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
