I've seen that error if using third-party repositories or the mirror
isn't fully updated
Thanks for the information. I've downloaded the utility and ran yum-complete-transaction, but it won't clear it out.
I guess the problem started when I attempted to install kaffeine on a Gnome Desktop (I've had trouble with vlc, so wanted to try kaffeine. vlc still doesn't work for DVDs (segmentation errors) but mplayer plays DVDs.)
Here's what I get if I say no to installing kaffeine:
[root@localhost ronb]# /usr/sbin/yum-complete-transaction

There are 2 outstanding transactions to complete. Finishing the most recent one
The remaining transaction had 5 elements left to run
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

Error Summary
-------------
I'm not quite sure what this is telling me. Looks like some kind of conflict between mplayer and kaffeine? Maybe if I removed mplayer and then ran yum-complete-transaction?
The file /usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-mplayer2.desktop doesn't exist. -- which really makes this odd.
--
RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3
This is caused by a packaging bug. They should not ship the x-mplayer2.desktop file in kdelibs nor in kaffeine, but rather have it in mplayer where it belongs. This should be handled in the %install section for these packages.
