This will give you what is described as a default in 'man yum.conf'. Dumping caches at the slightest provocation is trully maddenning when your connection is somewhat worse than T1. OTOH then you have to make sure yourself that these caches will not grow too big over time. > rather than simply removing the offending packages > from the transaction set until we have a consistent transaction set and > doing the install of whatever will work." It seems that yum indeed has enough information to behave in such way, or at least to have an option to turn on such behaviour. Unfortunately it is not doing this. Still there are scripts which allow to achieve that goal and location of some of these was mentioned on this list a number of times. Basically you try to update possible candidates one by one instead of all of them at the same time. 'keepcache=1' is actually helpful here.
