Since I use CentOS (was using Fedora before) I discover some yum advanced features, thanks for teaching me, Ljubomir :-). None of the undo or rollback commands work, mostly because of hundreds of "Failed to downgrade <packagename>" lines (those packagenames are not part of the stalled transaction, BTW). It seems that the problem is not simply a broken transaction today, `yum check` reports 399 pre-existing rpmdb problems, typically conflicts between duplicate old and new versions of tons of other packages, and I don't have a clue of when/how this has all been broken. And don't know how to fix.. reinstalling the system seems a bit rough? Regards, -- wwp
