As long as the transaction didn't actually start, there should be nothing to
clean up. You can verify by running yum-complete-transaction - it should say
"No unfinished transactions left." if that's the case. If not, it will try
to complete them, though I've found that often it's too confused to proceed
and I have to clean up manually, by looking for and deleting duplicate
packages ("package-cleanup --dupes") and checking the remaining ones with
rpm -V <package>. Finally I'd run "package-cleanup --problems" to verify
that everything was OK.
