and after excluding "xorg-x11" the "yum update" then completed. I
presume that simply excluding "xorg-x11" would have allowed the yum
update with yesterday's version to complete. Hope this helps
someone else and I'm off to file a bug against "xorg-x11" if it
hasn't already been done.
You are confusing things that are going on to some extent.
There first thing you saw with the traceback was a real error in yum
2.1.2, which yum 2.1.3 should fix.
The conflict error you see is a REAL packaging conflict between the
old version of xorg you had installed and the new version of xorg in
rawhide. Its a packaging conflict because the items in the xorg
packages have been restructured in the new rawhide version.
instead of excluding that xorg package, try yum --obsoletes update
the new xorg packages uses the rpm concept of "obsoleting" to handle
the problem of restructuring of package payloads.
