during the verify stage.
Have you tried yum-complete-transaction? That will probably work.
You can check things afterwords with package-cleanup --dupes and
package-cleanup --problems.


      Complete-transaction reported it could not finish and ended up
marking the transaction files as invalid.
It was then I took another users suggestion and ran package-cleanup
--dupes. That's what left my partition in
a partially unbootable state.
Now I am stumped..it appears only a re-installation would work

Hi,

Not sure if you can boot the machine, but if you are booted into it,
did you try to clean out your cache, etc?

sudo yum clean all




The partition only boots to a sh-42 prompt - it appears some system files are
missing after package cleanup.
