Check the requirements of the synaptic yum wants to update
check the provides of the apt you currently have installed.
you have apt from atrpms installed... you dont have atrpms in the yum
repository information that you loaded....
Looks like a packaging conflict from using multiple repositories to
me. I don't see how this qualifies as a yum problem considering that
yum isn't going to downgrade packages as a matter of design.
synaptic requires libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0, which is only provided by
apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362 in Phil's configured set of repositories. yum
decides to take that one, but then realises that a higher version of apt
is installed already and does not come from the enabled repositories.
That's not a conflict, but an inconsistent repository configuration.
Btw, yum 2.1.13 from updates-testing works for me so far.
