Could not skip the device-mapper; because lvm2 depended on it.
So had to use "yum -x device-mapper --skip-broken update" to successfully
upgrade remaining packages from the channel and also install the latest
kernel.
# yum -x device-mapper update
.
.
.
lvm2-2.02.84-6.el5.x86_64 from rhel-5.6_x86_64 has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.63-2 is needed by package
lvm2-2.02.84-6.el5.x86_64 (rhel-5.6_x86_64)
Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.63-2 is needed by package
lvm2-2.02.84-6.el5.x86_64 (rhel-5.6_x86_64)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
