Hi Gilbert,

you should do exactly that - run yum-complete-transaction from yum-utils.
You have an aborted "yum update" and thus duplicate packages in the db.

Betreff: [CentOS] Problem upgrading from CentOS 6.4 to 6.5

Hello everyone,

I had an issue with one of three servers upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5. It did 
not have the CR repo enabled.

It failed dueing install, but I didn't catch the error (bad, bad, I know). 
OK, so it told me to run yum-complete transaction. After going through and 
figuring out what it had to do, it stops with this error:

(etc, etc...)

libbonobo-devel-2.24.2-5.el6.i686

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 216 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
ModemManager-0.4.0-5.git20100628.el6.i686 is a duplicate with 
ModemManager-0.4.0-3.git20100628.el6.i686
1:NetworkManager-0.8.1-66.el6.i686 is a duplicate with 
1:NetworkManager-0.8.1-61.el6_4.i686
1:NetworkManager-glib-0.8.1-66.el6.i686 is a duplicate with 
1:NetworkManager-glib-0.8.1-61.el6_4.i68
(etc)

Any ideas on how to fix this? A "yum update" tells me to
run yum-complete-transaction.

For those who respond, I thank you for your time,
I appreciate it!

Gilbert
