Now that yum is up and running again it tells me the following
"There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider
running yum-complete-transaction, or "yum-complete-transaction --
cleanup-only" and "yum history redo last", first to finish them. If
those don't work you'll have to try removing/installing packages by
hand (maybe package-cleanup can help)."
Doing "yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only" should be safe, right?
To clean up the botched microcode_ctl update and after that set it
among excluded packages.
