That's what I meant when I said 'I did that'
Sorry that I did not save the output.

It does take a long time and produces a list of what is
"set to be installed" - but  because it encounters
errors with some packages and their dependencies,
it does not install any of them.

What I have been doing is that   for every dependency that
causes conflicts, I uninstall the conflicting dependency and all packages
that depend on it, and then I "yum install" them and that
fixes the problem with that dependency.
So, next time I do yum update, the problem with that
specific dependency is gone and the new dependencies
are installed. And on with the next conflict ...etc.
So, it has been a rather slow and painful process to do
things that yum should be doing for me.
