Hi! I have a small problem with some packages : i was doing an update over ssh and my connection was interrupted .. now i have a lots of duplicates and if i try to remove them, yum tries to uninstall all system (447 packages 1.4 gb)!!

Any idea how can i clean this mess? would be pretty bad if the machine needs to be re-installed only because the connection went bad during the process...

Running 'yum-complete-transaction' will usually fix things up. If you don't have it you should be able to 'yum install yum-utils' without affecting the old incomplete transaction.

both 1. yum-complete-transaction and 2. yum-complete-transaction --skip-broken

fails with : 1.
