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.
No, the proper way for yum to do is to not upgrade a package
(synaptic) if it is going to miss its (explicit) dependencies (apt
with a given version/release).
The repo bug is most probably in synaptic from extras requiring
explicitely apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362, i.e. not allowing other apt with
different release tags.
