Yum should update dependencies automatically -
that's what it's designed for.
This isn't yum's fault, this is just what happens when you use rawhide -
some packages get pushed out before their dependecies are properly met.
This has been mentioned over and over again, and should probably be part
of the Release Notes or something for test releases.
yum --exclude=$package1 --exclude=$package2 $command will allow you to
update everything else but the kernel. Here, looking at what it's asking
for reveals that you have old kernel modules that haven't been updated
for the latest kernel release, so yum --exclude=kernel update.
The problem does not limit installing additional kernels. I can install
everything except the below rpms. As earlier stated, the current rawhide
versions require a kernel version that does not exist in rawhide and is
going on still, after some time.
Yum still needs a "best effort" updating routine. This is an RFI
(request for improvement) feature though.
Kernel-2.6.11-1.1312_FC4 installed with little trouble.
yum --exclude=<long list of rpms entered under seperate --exclude=
entries> -y update
