Yum Rollbacks

Very occasionally installing a package or updates with yum can have unexpected results.  Fortunately yum provides the ability to roll back anything it installs.  Here is an example of what these commands look like:

# yum history
Loaded plugins: package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, security, subscription-manager
ID | Login user | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 11 | root <root> | 2016-12-16 13:20 | Install | 8 
 10 | root <root> | 2016-12-16 10:38 | Install | 1 
 9 | root <root> | 2016-12-16 08:05 | Install | 1 
 8 | root <root> | 2016-12-15 15:37 | Install | 1 
 7 | root <root> | 2016-12-15 13:29 | Install | 10 
 6 | root <root> | 2016-12-15 12:55 | Install | 5 <
 5 | root <root> | 2016-12-08 14:51 | I, O, U | 381 >E
 4 | root <root> | 2016-12-08 14:45 | Install | 4 
 3 | root <root> | 2016-12-08 14:12 | I, U | 32 EE
 2 | root <root> | 2016-12-08 14:11 | Install | 1 
 1 | System <unset> | 2016-12-08 13:50 | Install | 644

To reverse any of these yum actions simply issue the command:

# yum history undo "#"

Where the trailing “#” is the ID number from the yum history output.

Good luck.
