The yum history command
The yum history command allows users to review information about a timeline of Yum transactions, the dates and times on when they occurred, the number of packages affected, whether transactions succeeded or were aborted, and if the RPM database was changed between transactions. Additionally, this command can be used to undo or redo certain transactions.
Listing Transactions
To display a list of twenty most recent transactions, as root, either run yum history with no additional arguments, or type the following at a shell prompt:
[fedora@localhost ~]$ sudo yum history list
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
