If you have a lot of deps that are giving you problems, you can use the output from yum and paste it in a shell script that you want to use. I do this regularly for development because of the excessive amount of dep problems. See attached script. copy output from yum for packages to be upgraded. You may need to run yum -y update to not show a lot of downloading header information. Paste the output from yum in terminal into the script. Search and replace as in example. Save script after editing. Run script and then deal with remaining packages.On Mon, 2005-08-01 at 09:48 -0400, Robert P. J.

It was fixed by one of 2 things (depending upon the cause). 1) If the mirror being used is out of sync, wait a while (sometimes 1 - 2 days) for them to resync and try again. 2) Verify the package that it is complaining about then check /var/log/yum.log to find out when and from what repo that package was installed. Sometimes I use certain repos only for specific packages and updates may break the dependencies there. Enable the repo again to do the update usually solves that.
This is easier for me than to do than add --exclude=..... for the many dep conflicts.
