msg: There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
```

参考[There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them](http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-centos-redhat-linux-there-are-unfinished-transactions-error/)，这个报错是因为以前的系统yum传输没有完成或中断，所以导致需要执行`yum-complete-transaction`来完成传输。不过，建议执行`yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only`，这个`--cleanup`参数更为安全。

执行

```bash
sudo yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only
```

显示输出

```bash
...
Cleaning up unfinished transaction journals
Cleaning up 2015-11-12.15:10.18
```

> 原来`2015-11-12`日的yum安装没有正确结束导致的问题。

清理之后再执行`ansible-playbook`就不再报`unfinished transactions remaining`错误
