CentOS - Dec 2018 - Centos7 broken after update

I've launch a "yum update" while I was going to lunch. 1 hour
later the
system was completely freezed (no mouse, no keyboard, screen black, no
network).

I try a hard reboot => kernel panic on the new kernel

I boot on the old kernel => boot hangs with gnome-shell failure. SSH was
OK so I remove the new kernel and re-install gnome shell.

Reboot is ok but now the computer freeze (no mouse, no keyboard, screen
black) after some time. Yum asks to run? yum-complete-transaction

Running yum-complete-transaction says:

There are 1 outstanding transactions to complete. Finishing the most
recent one
The remaining transaction had 1537 elements left to run

then many package to be removed and start a very long dependances check
and show a lot of errors at the end with a depsolving loop limit reached:

Erreur?: Depsolving loop limit reached.

and then:

...etc and fails.

Any idea to go back to a normal situation before a full re-install ?


Thanks

restoring the old state before the broken 'yum update' can be done by
package-cleanup.

package-cleanup --dupes

will give you a long list of duplicate packages.

package-cleanup --cleandupes --removenewestdupes

will try to remove the duplicate rpms from the update.

after that you should run 'package-cleanup --dupes' and clean the
remaining dupes manually. if this is done, you can try to run the
'yum update' again.

Hi Ulf 

thanks for the suggestion. Indeed it seems I have a problem with glibc. Version
is different between x86_64 and i386 and I have two glibc-common for x86_64.
Trying to remove the old one request removing half of the system packages
because of the dependancies. The newest cannot be removed.


glibc-2.17-222.el7.i686 
glibc-2.17-260.el7.x86_64 
glibc-common-2.17-222.el7.x86_64 
glibc-common-2.17-260.el7.x86_64 
glibc-devel-2.17-260.el7.x86_64 
glibc-headers-2.17-260.el7.x86_64
