This question seems to come up a lot. And the fedora-list usually has somebody asking how to recover from it. When 'yum' fails for whatever reason there will be some part of the 'cleanup' phase left undone. At which point the manual repair of the RPM DB needs to take place, a long and tedious task. At best even if you have the procedure as a (almost) single command line, it can be annoying.
Any official plans to have yum gracefully recover from a failed update?
