I know I'm coming in late, and judging from other replies this probably
won't work, but have you tried yum-complete-transaction? I'd suggest using
--skip-broken, but that only checks for certain errors in the files rather
than doing what the name implies.
Going off-topic for a moment, and presuming that dnf acts the same way (I
don't, as yet, have a box using it.) should there be a bugzilla either
complaining that the switch doesn't actually do what it says (e.g., skipping
to the next package if this one is broken instead of only being able to pull
it out of the transaction if the signature (I think it is.) doesn't match.)
or requesting that it be renamed to something more appropriate, with the
current switch being left as an alias for the correct one to keep scripts
from breaking. I'm neutral on the subject, although I'd prefer that
something be done to keep people from wasting time trying in cases where it
doesn't apply.
Thanks, Joe. I have just tried
yum-complete-transaction
but with no success: the error message ("/lib64/libidn.so.11: file too short").

Can you copy /lib64/libidn.so.11 from another computer via network
connection or flash drive?
