Description of problem: yum-complete-transaction should have an option to iterate over all outstanding transactions. If yum has been failing, e.g. from a cron job, there can be many outstanding transactions to clean up. It would be a lot less painful if there was an option on yum-complete-transactions to iterate over them all in an unattended fashion. Bonus points for doing it efficiently, perhaps by iteration the transactions in one pass, and updating the rpms in a single merged pass afterwards. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.23-3.fc12.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Simpler yum administration. Additional info:
the best bet is to run: yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only but you can also go into the /var/lib/yum dir and remove the files manually.
yum and related packages are no longer actively developed. They are being replaced with dnf, dnf-utils, etc. I'm closing this bug because it's most likely never going to be fixed. If you still consider your bug report important, reopen it, please.
