Normally, I leave the building straightforward.

Of course, I can also climb to the roof, use the fire exit, arrive at 
the backyard and find my way out somehow from there.

Of course, I just do that. Since years, and there are no problems with 
updates.

Only with EL6 and the automatic 'yum ckeck' I'm getting pissed somehow:

** Found 11 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

	libcilkrts.so.5()(64bit), libifcoremt.so.5()(64bit), ...

I know that already!

So I was humbly asking for some trick here.

There must be some, even if Google didn't find me one.
