Hi there. On a system that recently had a fresh install of f13 I got the following message from yum: "There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them." When I ran yum-complete-transactions another message appeared: "There are 1 outstanding transactions to complete. Finishing the most recent one The remaining transaction had 228 elements left to run" Then after a very long list of packages it wants to remove including: bash, yum-utils, and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau it says: Remove 159 Package(s) This sure seems like it will kill the system. uname -a Linux mred.localdomain 2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Thu May 27 02:56:20 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
