With this one, it goes through the process of checking sources,

the dependency loop is exceeded and all 3 need the XFree86.libs package
which is not provided.

Please copy and paste the output.

Yum.conf

That is, in a word, ugly. I would suggest at least going through it and
weeding out the duplicate repos (I see at least 3 entries for Fedora
Updates).

and output of running 'yum update' with this config file

yum won't see the XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-55 (the updated version needed for
the other XFree86 updates) because you have "exclude=XFree86-libs*" in the
[main] section of your yum.conf.

Thanks,  I will make the changes and try it.

NOTE However, that this yum.conf file is exacly the version that was posted on this list earlier. I suppose I did not note the problem with XFree86 earlier since this is likely the first time XFrre86 was updated since the initial core release on this distro.

Maybe someone could post a better yum.conf file copy for an example.
