We have one customer system that is giving us a curious YUM problem and 
I wonder if there may be any input on it.

If we run a yum clean all / yum update on it, we run into this:

# yum update

There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running 
yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

And a bunch more before it gives:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error:  Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
        cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
        pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

          1. You have an upgrade for libgcc which is missing some
             dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
             solve this by installing an older version of libgcc of the
             different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
             yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
             requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
             --exclude libgcc.otherarch ... this should give you an error
             message showing the root cause of the problem.

          2. You have multiple architectures of libgcc installed, but
             yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
             If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
             can remove the one with the missing update and everything
             will work.

          3. You have duplicate versions of libgcc installed already.
             You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

        ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
        this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
        do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
        much more problems).

        Protected multilib versions: libgcc-4.4.7-4.el6.i686 != 
libgcc-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64
Error: Protected multilib versions: libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.i686 != 
libstdc++-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

WOW, that is a big list.   So I wondered if perhaps YUM's suggestion to 
run yum-complete-transaction may be helpful.

It isn't.   It runs for hours, and just continues to scroll and scroll. 
  Last night I let it run continuously and checked it after I got back 
into the office.   It quit at sometime overnight when the nightly yum 
cron started to run.

I saw "[BlueOnyx:14471] Re: Yum Update problems" that seemed to describe 
a bit of what I'm seeing above. Since there are almost 100 packages that 
appear to have this issue, do I need to run that procedure on each of 
them?

I wasn't sure if there is a more efficient way to go about this, or if 
we need to weed through each RPM one by one.

Thanks,
