Dear yumsters, OK, yum was interrupted (probably by an urgent powerout shutdown) on a small notebook computer I'm installing and had "uncompleted transactions". I ran yum-complete-transactions and it announced that what it wanted to do was remove 193 odd packages from the system, all of them critical to system functionality at first glance. Safe or not safe? yum update is otherwise clean -- are these old packages that yum needs to remove, or did yum get caught in a bizarre state where it is getting ready to trash my system by removing enough core that I'd have to reinstall (a major PITA)?
I've had a similar thing happen and it did the right thing in removing only the old copies. You can check with 'rpm -q packagename' to see that it thinks you have duplicates for the ones it plans to remove.
