From a console, I wanted to complete the yum update and it suggested me to do a `yum-complete-transaction`.

A `yum cleanup` doesn't change it.
Any hint how I could get of that deadly loop?
Are you actually answering yes and letting it continue or stopping when
you
see the list of things it needs to do?
I tried both :-) (first time: no, second time: yes).
Tried also `rpm --rebuilddb`, no effect. Will try `yum history sync` or `yum reinstall` or.. really reinstall.
Are you seeing errors from yum as it tries to complete the steps it says it needs to complete the transaction? Does it still show a bunch of duplicate packages?
Finally.. `yum reinstall '*'` fixed the issue(s). The RPMDB is now clean, yum is not warning anymore, there's no incomplete transaction, and the CentOS6 install seems fully functional.
Thanks a lot to all, Ljubomir, Mark, Louis and Les, you really helped me (and it was quite critical I had to fix this quickly even if I didn't mention this point).
Regards,
