[SOLVED]Fedora 16: yum-complete-transaction fails...
Running Dual Boot Win 7 Ultimate and Fedora 16, Kernel Linux 3.2.7-1.fc16.i686, GNOME 3.2.1
Using Fedora 16 with a Opera browser open I couldn't open my 'Files' or anything, a message popped up at bottom of screen that said something along the lines that there wasn't enough memory to open.
So I went to SOFTWARE UPDATES to run it and get this:
FAILED TO INITIALIZE
Failed to initialize packaging backend.
There are unfinished transactions remaining. Please run yum-complete-transaction as root.
Here are all of the commands I have found to try to resolve this issue, in order.
-yum-complete-transaction
-yum-complete-transaction –cleanup-only
-package-cleanup –cleandupes
-yum clean all
-yum update
I am now at a loss as to what to do next, short of saving all my files and wiping that partition and starting from scratch. (Which I really don't want to.)
Sorry for the book but I am hoping I have given enough info and that someone will see where the problem is and give me a solution to fix this.
Thank you all for any any help or input as to what is going on...
I tried to post all the command logs but the web site says:
You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more.
So not real sure how to post those but in short when I run the 'yum-complete-transaction' the log says:

This problem was solved by running the following as root:
yum-complete-transaction --disablerepo=fedorautils
Thanks AndrewSerk at fedoraforum.org!
