When updating CentOS yum has crashed and left me with Error: rpmdb open failed. I tired to fix it with this answer and it left me with working yum and some unfinished transactions.

I then evoke yum-complete-transaction and tried yum history undo last but latter failed, so I evoke yum check (output below). Later on I tried to remove all duplicated packages with yum remove $(cat list), wherelistis file with space-separated list of packages fromyum check`. As a result I get whole lot of dependencies to remove including protected packages (systemd and yum).

I don't know where should I go from this point. Should I provide some additional command outputs?

Edit:
I forgot to mention that system didn't boot with new kernel (quite obviously).

# yum list "kernel"

Error: check all

OK, so I don't know why I tried to remove those broken packages instead of reinstalling them, hence the kinda hackish way to reinstall all broken packages:

yum reinstall $(yum check | awk 'NR!=1{print $1}' | tr 'n' ' ')
