Taking both ipa-server's out:
rpm -e ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86
_64 ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64
worked. I was then able to:
yum install ipa-server
followed by rpm -e the other ipa\* and xorg\* duplicates that were listed,
to get things back to a consistent state. I also ran:
yum check
for good measure.
Lessons:
1) yum-complete-transaction is not a silver bullet.
2) Don't order the Kill Yum Special at the Derhay Cafe.
Cheers,
