I do this nearly every day, no issues ... except when kerberos-heimdal and (possibly) ldap are involved. I wonder if it has something to do with a smartcardauth package; that one seems to be problematic for me, all by itself. Also there is kdesktop-trinity, which seems to require the kerberos-heimdal-ldap packages. My workaround is simple: I always keep a folder with most recent downloaded packages for my system. When I upgrade to a new version, then I do some housecleaning. So I can manage to get my system working normally again without much trouble, but it still doesn't answer the question. There must be something that causes those packages to get installed as dependencies. I think that the trinity ldap package is okay, but whatever else gets called in keeps repeating this mistake. Whenever I imagine that I've got it resolved, it pops back again a year or so later.
