Follow-up, for the archives:
yum update was killed at an inopportune time, leaving ipa* and xorg* in an inconsistent state.
yum-complete-transaction looks like it it's going to erase the entire system and then fails.
From the transaction files, the following are in:
install 0:ipa-python-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:ipa-client-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:xorg-x11-server-common-1.10.6-1.0.1.el6.centos.x86_64 install 0:ipa-admintools-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64
rpm -q ipa-server returns:
ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64
rpm -q ipa-server-selinux returns:
ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64
Thinking I could remove the old and then drop in the new, I tried:
rpm -e ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64
but that fails with:
ipa-server-selinux = 2.2.0-17.el6_3.1 is needed by (installed) ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64
Taking both ipa-server's out:
rpm -e ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86 _64 ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64
worked. I was then able to:
yum install ipa-server
followed by rpm -e the other ipa* and xorg* duplicates that were listed, to get things back to a consistent state. I also ran:
yum check
for good measure.
Lessons:
1) yum-complete-transaction is not a silver bullet.
2) Don't order the Kill Yum Special at the Derhay Cafe.
