Sorry, I was not clear enough.

Say line1 and line2 are executed and then the line "yum install package" is executed. User needs to input "y" or "yes" to install the package and "n" or "no" to quit the yum install. If the user input "y" or "yes" the script should continue as such, ie yum will install package and after that line3 and line4 of script is executed.
Now if the user input "n" or "no" for the yum install step, the yum will not install the package and the script should be terminated and line3 and lin4 should not be executed.

yum-debug-restore

yum-debug-restore(1)													      yum-debug-restore(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-restore - replay Yum transactions captured in a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-restore

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-restore  is  a  program which takes a gzipped file created by yum-debug-dump and acts on the information about installed packages
       contained within.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       --output
	      Output the commands that would be run to stdout.

       --shell=<file>
	      Output the commands that would be run to a file.

       --install-latest
	      Ask yum to install the latest version of the given packages, instead of the version that was installed in the debug-dump file.

       --ignore-arch
	      Ignore the architecture of the packages, so you can "restore" an i386 debug-dump on an x86_64 machine.

       --filter-types=[install,remove,update,downgrade]
	      Only perform the given types of commands, so you can filter to just upgrades and installs.

FILES

       As yum-debug-restore uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration  for	its  default  values  like
       which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-dump (1)
       yum.conf (5)

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
