Description of problem: During normal SW-update an error occurred due to missing disk space. Restart with more disk space is not possible due to pending transactions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Start update in low-disk-space environment and wait for termination with error. Then supply more disk space and restart SW-update. This yields an initialisation error with the hint to solve the problem by running yum-complete-transaction But the problem isn't solved: instead 3 errors are reported as shown below Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start normal SW-Update -> error with initialisation-error 2. yum-complete-transaction -> error messages below 3. yum-complete-transaction --skip-broken -> same error messages Actual results: .....

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: yum-complete-transaction should be able to handle interrupted transactions. Additional info:
Is there anyone responsible for yum? Error message is: Trying to remove 'yum,' which is protected. ========================================== Does yum try to remove itself ??????? In the meantime I've found a similar problem reported on the net: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/print.php?form=1&topic_id=37662&forum=55&order=DESC&start=0
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
