I didn't know this can happen. Can you provide some additional info (a link to 
a bugzilla or something)?

Yum itself advises to use --skip-broken in case of broken dependencies, so I 
assumed it was safe to use. Actually, I was also wondering why isn't that 
option turned on by default. But if it can screw up archs etc., then I'd like 
to know more about what can go wrong and how.

Best, :-)
