Or yum itself could have a --exclude-broken-deps ... I'd vote for --shadow=SomePackageGlob, meaning "Install everything that doesn't depend (directly or indirectly) on SomePackage" (modulated by the usual --exclude=SomeJunk and ListOfStuff arguments). Methinks this would be generally useful, not only for futzing around with rawhide, as this is usually what you want (not just raw --exclude=ThisOrThat). Or else, "--install-whatever-you-can --i-know-what-im-doing --yes-i-do-mean-it --just-doit-damnit" flags > Broken deps are always going to be a fact of life with rawhide - it'd > be nice if didn't suck up too much time for people, though.
