Run yum in non-caching mode???

Trollin' Gunny · 07-20-2012, 07:29 PM

Everytime I try to install something I get this message

"There are unfinished transactions remaining. Please run yum-complete-transaction as root."

Well I figured out what software is causing the problem, but I don't know how to run yum in non-caching mode. Can someone help me??? It'd be a great help.

See 'man yum.conf' for the "keepcache" directive and 'man yum' for the 'yum clean ' options?

I also should warn you that running Yum in non-caching mode probably isn't a solution (determine what the problem actually is), it's also inefficient and as such puts unnecessary strain on repo mirrors.

It's Fedora 17.

well then did you install the yum tools on fedora 17 ?

Code:

su -
yum install yum-utils

the error told you HOW to fix the problem
run" complete transaction "

see the yum manual

Code:

su -
man yum
--- and the help ----
yum --help

Code:

su -
yum-complete-transaction

to see the "auto complete" possible options
type in "yum" and hit the <tab> button twice
