I've launch a "yum update" while I was going to lunch. 1 hour later the
system was completely freezed (no mouse, no keyboard, screen black, no
network).

I try a hard reboot => kernel panic on the new kernel

I boot on the old kernel => boot hangs with gnome-shell failure. SSH was
OK so I remove the new kernel and re-install gnome shell.

Reboot is ok but now the computer freeze (no mouse, no keyboard, screen
black) after some time. Yum asks to run  yum-complete-transaction

Running yum-complete-transaction says:

There are 1 outstanding transactions to complete. Finishing the most
recent one
The remaining transaction had 1537 elements left to run

then many package to be removed and start a very long dependances check
and show a lot of errors at the end with a depsolving loop limit reached:

Erreur : Depsolving loop limit reached.

             Suppression  : evolution-3.28.5-2.el7.x86_64 (installed)

.......


and then:

 Vous pouvez essayer d'utiliser --skip-broken pour contourner le problème
** 775 problèmes RPMDB préexistants trouvés, la sortie de « yum check »
est la suivante :

NetworkManager-glib < ('1', '1.12.0', '8.el7_6'):

...etc and fails.

Any idea to go back to a normal situation before a full re-install ?


Thanks
