If you really ask then it would be truly nice if yum would drop such unresolvable subset from a transaction, not silently of course, and proceed with whatever remains. It could be some twenty other, unrelated, updates outstanding and currently one failed blocks them all. _If_ you are doing that interactively that --exclude is an obvious answer but even then such help would be welcome. I have no idea how much work that would be or even if there are cases which would make that really hard. Maybe one day... Michal
