Comment 1 seth vidal 2011-03-12 18:32:36 UTC

that is a saved transaction file. It is intentionally left there following a transaction so that if you want to run the same thing again you won't have to depsolve it.

Comment 2 nucleo 2011-03-12 18:39:23 UTC

Why transaction saved as temporary file in /tmp instead of /var/lib/yum or /var/cache/yum?
Why in Fedora 14 no such problems with temporary files?

Comment 3 seth vidal 2011-03-12 18:47:31 UTC

1. b/c /tmp is find-able by the user
2. f14 doesn't have this feature.


why is a tmp file a problem? it's a tmpfile.

Comment 4 nucleo 2011-03-12 19:02:55 UTC

I noticed problem when I saw many *.yumtx files in /tmp.
Those files should be removed manually after every canceled transaction.
Maybe this feature should be added to 'yum history' and then use storage where yum saves history instead of /tmp. Then will be no need to search this files.

Comment 5 nucleo 2011-03-13 14:50:40 UTC

Is there option to disable this feature?
I didn't find such option in man yum.conf.

Comment 6 nucleo 2011-03-15 22:44:04 UTC

Just a thought about /tmp is find-able by the user:
yum can print message about where transaction file saved.
