8.3.5. Starting New Transaction History
Yum stores the transaction history in a single SQLite database file. To start new transaction history, run the following command as
root:
yumhistorynew
This will create a new, empty database file in the
/var/lib/yum/history/ directory. The old transaction history will be kept, but will not be accessible as long as a newer database file is present in the directory.
