I've been through the list of failed dep's at bottom and checked all with rpm -q --whatprovides & rpm -q. They're all installed. So, the question is, how can I sync up yum with my rpm database?... I guess I'll try cleaning out everything and may be, be -t, --tolerant?... The fruits of my labours copied below. Regards, Morgan.
