 This very likely means that something "very bad" happened, likely a
large transaction aborted ... you can try using "yum history redo" or
yum-complete-transaction to see if you can fix the problem. Otherwise
you'll have to do it by hand, by running "yum check" and then
removing/install things.
 When you have no pre-existing problems, yum should work fine
(although I will note that I'd generally not recommend using a
non-system package manager, without a good reason).
