I wouldn't say one was is cleaner than the other, one is just automatic and the other is manual. About the only time I use -x is when there's a mythtv update and I want to wait to update when it's not recording. I'll let everything else update and then use the downloadonly plugin to download the myth packages and then update when I don't have any recordings scheduled. The best solution would be to fix it instead of working around the problem. Of course depending on what the problem is, it may or may not be something you can fix. What's causing the conflict? - Attempting to install packages from two different 3rd party repos that conflict? (atrpm, rpmfusion, etc) - Repo is missing a needed dependency due to mirrors being out of sync? - Repo is just plain messed up - Packager oops I ran into the first issue on my desktop. I completely forgot that I had atrpms packages installed as I upgraded from F12 to F14 instead of a fresh install. I had to manually remove the offending packages until the dependencies were sorted out.
