I don't recall the exact URL that this came from, I am sure that someone will
 :-) , but this script works quite well with missing dependencies. It is VERY
slow as it does not do all the packages at the same time.

-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Yum Update - packages with missing dependancies skipped.
#
for i in `yum list updates |cut -f 1 -d " " |grep -A 500 -e Updated |\
grep -v -e Updated` ; do
      echo "Updating $i"
      yum -y update $i
done
-------------------------------------------------------------
