I am having a similar issue on my fathers system. This issue was there for some time before I could look in to it. When I was able to run yum-complete-transactions I believe it could not complete when I arrived as the updates online had subsequently been further updated, and as such it was not able to use the packages it thought it should be using. I ran yum upgrade manually, and upgraded to the latest versions, re-ran yum-complete transactions, and it succesuflly ran saying zyz package (about 60 of them) were all the latest version. Howerver of subsequent runs of the Add/Remove software app, I still get the error. Additinoally if I run the yum install command at the terminal, it also warns about unfinished transactions. However yum-complete-transactions believes every thing is fine. I've also tried yum-complete-transactions --cleanup-only, yum clean all, package-cleanup --dupes, package-cleanup --problems Any thoughts? FYI I believe this is unrelated to gnome-packagekit and is actually related to yum, as stated, this error/warning occurs on the command line when using YUM directly. I'm pretty sure we've now fixed this in F12. Please re-open if you can still reproduce with a fully updated system. Thanks. Good morning Richard Unfortunately it's a bit cumbersome for me to test this as it's on my fathers PC, and a good old treck to get there. Just to confirm, as of last Saturday (20th), the system was fully updated and I was experiencing the problem still. Was I right in saying that the issue is related to yum as opposed gnome-packagekit, as yum was reporting the transaction error, and using the complete transactions script would not get rid of that error.

Cool, I'll reassign to that component then. Thanks. Douglas, what version of yum and yum-utils are you using? yum: yum-3.2.25-1.fc12.noarch yum-utils: yum-utils-1.1.26-1.fc12.noarch |
Description of problem: Package reports in 'Add/Remove Software' that there is an internal error (reported below). The problem is coupled with another message window stating "There are unfinished transactions remaining. Please run yum-complete-transaction as root.". I did run yum-complete-transaction (results below). The first time cleared up a bunch of packages. Now I thought the problem would be resolved. I was wrong. I am not quite sure why this is happening. Only thing I can reason is that some file used by 'Add/Remove Software' to control its updating so it does not try it at the same time as another software updater (e.g. yum) is running. It looks to me like a state file or attribute is in a corrupted state. [root@master storri]# yum-complete-transaction Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit No unfinished transactions left.
