I had to use rpm -e -nodeps alsa-*
Yum is just broken! It simply refuses to let you shoot yourself in
the foot! Bugs should be filed and torches should be lit!! ;)
Seriously, if you find that you need to use rpm --nodeps, then
whatever you are doing is not something yum will ever likely help you
with. In most cases, you're probably better off rethinking what it is
that you're doing.
Well I must say, theres a lot of good advise in that statement.
