I don't expect yum to do miracles and update when dependencies are not
satisfied. Blocking on unrelated packages dep errors OTOH is a bit
excessive IMHO.
OTOH apt occasionally gets pretty wild ideas how to "fix" something when
all dependencies aren't met: someone on freshrpms list just complained
about apt wanting to remove 330 packages from his system after
(obviously partial) upgrade from RHL 7.3 to 9 - that's not particularly
productive behavior either :)
