CentOS 7 – package conflict during update.

I was having trouble getting the most recently installed kernel to boot (not the latest release in the repository). It just immediately crashed like it was a grub issue. So, I decided to update the server to an even later kernel, since it is not really a production server.
However, when I did I kept getting the following conflict message:
Error: kernel conflicts with kmod-20-8.el7_2.x86_64
This what took care of the issue for me:
After running this command, I discovered that it was not an issue with an incomplete installation during my last updates.
# yum-complete-transaction –cleanup-only
Then, I ran the following, which removed a lot of duplicate packages:
package-cleanup –cleandupes
Then, I updated the server again:
# yum -y update
Rebooted the latest kernel in the repository without any issues.
