Hello there,
I think I've shutdown my box right in the middle of a yum update.. The latest kernel installed won't simple boot, and the old one can, but only in init 3 mode (tty).
From a console, I wanted to complete the yum update and it suggested me to do a `yum-complete-transaction`.
yum-complete-transaction tells me that 447 elements are left to run in 1 transaction, runs and show lots of "Removing<packagename> - ud from the transaction" then processes lots of stuff, and ends with listing lots of duplicate packages (mostly Xorg stuff) and.. and that's all. Same stuff if I start that command again.
A `yum cleanup` doesn't change it.
Any hint how I could get of that deadly loop?
"yum history list" will give you of last yum transaction (highest number). Use that number in:
"yum history undo <number>", "yum history redo <number>" or "yum history rollback <number>"
Read "man yum" for differences between commands if necessary.
