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

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?
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?
