I think it was on a Mac that I first saw something like "an error has
occurred, because an unknown error has occurred," or something equally
stupid.

Which would be down to what I said before.  Yum doesn't keep the
packages that it's installed, by default.  So trying to clean them away,
afterwards, yourself, isn't going to do anything.  It's already been
done.

Look in /etc/yum.conf.
