There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

It's interesting one's noarch and the other is not.

at which point i can simply "yum remove gnome-games".
i can see this is going to take a while if i want to salvage this
machine, unless there's a magic shortcut i don't know about.

I had that same problem, magic shortcut for me was fresh install. :) After that I updated only few packages at a time, like "yum update kde*" ... "yum update open*" it took awhile but at least it worked.


there has to be an alternative, maybe stern, process.

Maybe some carefully chosen "rpm --erase --nodeps" for problem packages. Take notes lest you have to reinstall some later.

One way of taking notes is
chattr +a .bash_history
and then taking care to "exec -l bash" occasionally.
