Have you tried running "yum-complete-transaction" yet?

yes I did (it was suggested by yum itself) but this didn't solve the
issue

that all my attempt to update my machine end with the following error:
[...]

What you're seeing is a yum error (actually a repo out of synch in all
likelihood), not a yum crash. Announcing that yum crashes is a serious
issue. A repo inconsistency is liable to go away on its own.

Where does this "repo out of synch" theory come from?
When an x86_64 multiarch repo is updated, its metadata contains matching
(!) pairs of x86_64 and i686 packages [1]. That is, same version and
release, because the packages are built from the same src.rpm, and the
multiarch repo compose tool fetches the packages from the same build. A
repo that is "out of sync" either doesn't offer the latest metadata at all
or doesn't carry all packages yet - 404 Not Found errors. But Yum would
not proceed with installing updates if packages referred to in the
metadata are not found. The only case when a multiarch package like
postgresql-libs would differ in version-release between x86_64 and i686
would be if the repo compose tool contained a bug (or the packages were
changed in a way they would not be selected for multiarch anymore).

well, I don't know if it is a repo out of synch or my local db broken
but my problem still persist even if it is limited to the i686 version
of postgresql-libs and I can live with it. And probably in the next few
days a new version of the package will be distributed that solves my
problem.
