 rpm --rebuiltdb did not run
 yum-complete-transaction and package-cleanup --problems they both ran for 
quite while in the end I lost couple programs "PCB" and "open office" and the
menu selection "add/remove software" that I could see, no problem apparently 
it fix also what was wrong it allow me to complete the f11 installation.
I had an automatic f11 upgrade that never ran the full installation, in the
past every time I selected the f11 on boot hung up, this time it did it went
through the full installation without any problem. PCB I reinstalled by 
using yum, the add/remove software I do not know how to do it or if there 
is way. I will appreciate a hint, and thank you for the help
