I'm with Jan...Thank God for yum-deprecated.  Been trying to get systemd
updated with DNF forever and it's been throwing an error about
fedora-release..yum-deprecated has it handled.  The whole skip-broken part

broken packages by stopping the update cold is worthless.


Well, I can't be sure because you haven't provided any details but it sounds
like something --best might be able to solve for you.

That doesn't really help much. It provides some data on why it isn't doing things that might allow you to figure out how to modify the command to get it to partially succeed. --allowerasing only works in some cases and I haven't been able to figure out which cases.

For just doing updates (not installs) I found that dnf does a better job at figuring out what can be updated without removing anything. Yum's depsolver would just give up in some caes where dnf can do some updates.
