Fedora :: Get Rid Of "unfinished Transaction" Warning?
Jul 4, 2011
Every time I go to install software via yum (on a new F15 install), I get a warning that there are unfinished transactions and that I should run yum-complete-transaction to finish them. Well, I don't want to do that. I had to install F15 a second time today for just this reason...Today I went to install gnome-tweak-tool via yum and itn't work because packagekit was holding the yum lock. Apparently packagekit runs as a daemon in the background? Is that correct? If so, how do I disable it? It's really quite obnoxious that an application that I didn't even start manually would sit around holding the yum lock, preventing me from doing what I want.
Either way, packagekit wasn't giving up the yum lock any time soon, apparently, so I just killed the process. Now every time I try to install something with yum, I get a warning about unfinished transactions, and a recommendation that I should complete them. I tried to do this earlier today, but after doing so and rebooting, I was greeted with a kernel panic error. Not knowledgeable enough to fix such a thing, I re-installed, and here I am.So, other than running yum-complete-transaction, how can I get rid of this error message? I really don't want to have to run it and then get another kernel panic and start from scratch again.

When trying to do an update or upgrade, I get the following:
Running Transaction Warning: RPMDB has been altered since the last yum transaction. Traceback (most recent call last):
[Code]....
I have tried yum clean all, yum clean metadata, rpm --rebuilddb, and even removing /var/cache/yum. yum info and yum list both work fine. Naturally, this yum problem is preventing me from updating my system.

I installed fedora 12 today...installation went fine. Tried to run the software update ( which includes 415 fixes) and got the following
Transaction error:- an unspecified transaction error has occurred. More information is available in the following report.
More details show:- could not add package update for abrt-plugin-runpp-1.0.4-1fc12(i686)updates:abrt-plugin-runapp-1.0.4-1.fc12.i686
I have unchecked the box in the update list to be installed, but the software update insists that this update is needed. I cannot progress any further than this error message..

I tried a yum clean all but this still comes up when installing:
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
The program yum-complete-transaction is found in the yum-utils package. How to clean the cache? I don't want to run any of the transactions.

After the updates galore of yesterday in -current, I began to update my system using slackpkg. However, after upgrading the kernel packages, I had a power problem and the system went down. (I had run lilo first, before the blackout happened) Upon powering it on again, my system won't boot. The kernel loads, and then init takes control, but when it comes to the regular fsck, the boot halts with a big, scary warning message that the filesystem might have an error and libblkid.so.1 is missing.
Be advised that the packages in the big update of yesterday were installed on alphabetical order. An inspection on the Jan 25-updated version of Slackware-current on my laptop reveals that the library in question is part of e2fsprogs. That's odd; if there was an update for it, it should already have been installed, but the system complains that a file from that package is missing, anyway. All this boils down to: my system is now unusable, unable to boot, and I really don't have a clue on what to do.

PackageKit popped up late last night w/ an update, so I let it do it's thing and it failed w/ the following error message

I did some googeling and found another thread that suggested rebuilding the rpm database w/ the following cmds

This produced new obvious errors except for when I ran 'yum update' again. It produced the following (repeatable) errors.

This is the automatic update system on mybox.com.
There was a problem updating the system. The following error message was reported:
Failed to build transaction: 1:kmod-nvidia-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686-280.13-2.fc14.i686 requires kernel-uname-r = 2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686
If the problem persists, manual intervention may be required. Thank You, Your Computer
I'm not sure what to do. I can add --skip-broken but that's not going to solve the problem. uname = Linux 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686. I'm guessing it's because I'm -92 and it's wanting -95 but if that's the case - where's my yum'ed 95?

I have boot as a separate partition, this time around I have set it to ext4 for the first time. That partition is only 250 Mb, but that has always been sufficient in the past, perhaps I am holding too many kernels or kernel versions?

Ok. Using Release 12 Constantine Gnome 2.28. Whenever I try to update my computer via de Software Update Manager that pops up every now and then I get an error and the Software Update fails.
The error says its a repository not found, but I am very new at this and have no clue as to where to fix this. Alongside of this, is the fact that since one of the updates is failing, the rest don't install either. So the updates keep on piling.
This is the error shown in the More Details window:

I'm using fedora 15, when I updated the os through software update application in it, I got an error as shown in the figure. Actually I had installed some missing plugins and I set up free and non-free rpm repository through the kernel, based on the information given on the below site.! Personal Fedora 15 Installation Guide. Guess that might have done some damages to the RPM Fusion non-free repository.!

I have tried to install this package with yum and also directly - download the rpm, then rpm -Uvh ....
Both yum and rpm hang - yum when running the transaction test.
Any ideas about this package.
