dependencies. So what good is '--skip-broken' if it isn't going to skip
anything?
I imagine that each noted 'broken' package also depended on other
packages being upgradable, which eventually leads to marking all
packages as broken, and hence nothing to do.
Differing from F9-10 for example, F11 is fully rebuilt with a new gcc,
and sporting an i586 binary type. This might require the upgrade to be
an all or nothing situation.
I didn't notice if you have tried doing eg yum update rpm yum first, in
case that helps.
Also the noting which packages yum is having trouble with might lead you
to a method to upgrade manually.
package-cleanup --orphans
might tell you installed packages that might be needing updates, but
that are not part of your transaction set/upgrade.
If you don't want to uninstall orphans, I think you could rpm -e
--justdb (from memory), so that they stay installed during the upgrade,
but then rpm reinstall --justdb afterwards.
