GENERAL OPTIONS         top

DESCRIPTION         top

       yum-complete-transaction is a program which finds incomplete or
       aborted yum transactions on a system and attempts to complete
       them. It looks at the transaction-all* and transaction-done* files
       which can normally be found in /var/lib/yum if a yum transaction
       aborted in the middle of execution.

       If it finds more than one unfinished transaction it will attempt
       to complete the most recent one first. You can run it more than
       once to clean up all unfinished transactions.

FILES         top

       As yum-complete-transaction uses YUM libraries for retrieving all
       the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default
       values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation
       for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/
