Setting up Update Process
Resolving Dependencies
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Additional info:
upon request, on or after tuesday april 14 out for easter vacation.  hope it is not an inconvenience :) 

This happens on both archs I run i686/i586? and x86_64 on three of four machines I tried to update got the same thing.  yum clean all, yum clean metadata makes no difference :(

Comment 1 Martin Kaeser 2009-04-10 05:52:28 UTC
for me it worked to use first yum-complete-transaction

Comment 2 tom-wk 2009-04-11 04:24:08 UTC
Correction is to replace "base." with "self." on line 711 in "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py.

Code path occurs if there are incomplete transactions.

Confirm corrected in package yum.noarch 0:3.2.22-4.fc11

Comment 3 Antonio A. Olivares 2009-04-14 16:12:32 UTC
Thank you Tom for the workaround.  Updated all my machines as of today. Ran yum-complete-transaction and then yum update yum -y, then yum update.  All is well.  Bug was closed without me knowing,  but at least I reported it.
