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
Normally I'd not be hesitant about trying different options, perhaps with --nodeps, and then reinstalling if my inexperience proved to be fatal, but this machine is not unimportant, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much for your time.
Cheers, Zube

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.

And as an extra warning, note that this is likely to happen if the updates being installed include freenx or nx and you start yum from a window in a freenx session.

Run updates behind screen via local console or SSH. :)
