The system is now fully functional again and I have learnt my lesson! Couldn't yum-complete-transaction (from the yum-utils package) help you clean up this? At least let it complete and then clean up the packages you don't need/want afterwards. This should (in theory at least) do the same thing in a more safe and controlled manner. kind regards, David Sommerseth # yum-complete-transaction Loaded plugins: priorities, refresh-packagekit 32 packages excluded due to repository priority protections No unfinished transactions left. Perhaps 'package-cleanup --cleandupes' 'man package-cleanup' for details. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Anderson | jdander...@lbl.gov
