and i don't like discussions about clear subjects
like "yum does not solve dependencies" instead
"can't upgrade" while it is pretty clear that
such dep-problems in case of a normal update
are going away as they are coming while problems
with a dist-upgrade may need a specific bugreport

no, but if a topic is started with a clear subject
it is more likely that you get the right answers
especially if you strip the used command in your
initial post

there is a difference between a command-line option and
the intention of what you like to do, the subject sounds
like a failing dist-upgrade with yum

because you used the wrong term in case of humans
we can discuss this now for hours or you simply
realize that a clear subject at start would be better
