I'm trying to update from FC4T2 to current rawhide, x86_64: yum update: [...] --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: struts11 = 1.1-1jpp_2fc for package: struts11-webapps-tomcat5 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: struts11 = 1.1-1jpp_2fc is needed by package struts11-webapps-tomcat5 OK, what about: sudo yum --exclude=struts11-webapps-tomcat5 update Same result! Now, a suggestion: Why can't yum have a switch to tell it to go ahead and update whatever it can, instead of refusing to proceed to update 1000 packages just because of 1 dep problem?
