i accidentally stopped the update now i got an error message

There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
The program yum-complete-transaction is found in the yum-utils package.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
any advice ??

any advice ??

rpm -e samba3x-winbind

Your problem was that you had samba3x-winbind-3.6.6-0.129.el5 installed which required samba3x-common-3.6.6-0.129.el5.

You are now trying to install samba3x-3.6.6-0.136.el5 which installs samba3x-common-3.6.6-0.136.el5 which causes samba3x-common-3.6.6-0.129.el5 to be removed.

samba3x-winbind-3.6.6-0.136.el5 isn't available in the smeupdates repository, so the upgrade can't be completed.

All of this is stated in the error message you showed.

If you remove samba3x-winbind-3.6.6-0.129.el5 from your system you won't encounter this problem.

hello
i already  solved the problem by using the yum-complete-transaction command, as for your solution the sme wont allow you to remove samba3x-winbind-3.6.6-0.129.el5 because of an important dependencies

Sometimes you just have to use a bigger (ie the correct) hammer

rpm -e --nodeps samba3x-winbind

No, I don't think that's wise either. It sounds like something needs samba3x-winbind (but we haven't been told what). Probably the best course of action is to find and install the correct version of samba3x-winbind. Or remove samba3x-winbind and whatever contrib has a dependency on it.
