Today I got an error while running

yum update

command:

[root@lenovo ~]# yum update

[...]useless output[...]

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
5:ibm-print-npgpws-2.1-26.i386 is a duplicate with 5:ibm-print-npgpws-2.1-23.i386

This is not so hard and can be achieved with the following commands:

1. Check if maybe the last update process was not interrupted and you do not have some unfinished transations:

[root@lenovo ~]# yum-complete-transaction
Loaded plugins: ibm-check-lotus-updates, ibm-check-xorg-updates, ibm-repository, refresh-packagekit, versionlock
No unfinished transactions left.
