You can also try running:
"yum --exclude=<trouble maker1> [--exclude=<trouble maker2>]
--skip-broken
update"
Where <trouble-maker> is e.g. 'kdebase-workspace-python-applet'
That sounded a good idea, but excluding kdebase-workspace-python-applet still
left me with a huge list, and what felt like a gigantic task to find the
culprit. I decided to try John's solution, removing kdebase-workspace-python-
applet, and sure enough the update is now running. Not sure, but I suspect
that means that I lose yawp, but it's the only widget that I'd really miss.
It may even have been installed for when I tested various other widgets, for
other people. ISTR that a superkaramba system monitor was python-based, for
instance.
