In case you don't already know, if you look in the tips &
tricks
section of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/yum you'll see some
scripts which allow upgrading all packages *bar* those with dependency
problems ...
What I do is:
yum -y upgrade &> /tmp/LIST
# If it didn't work out...
for p in \
$(sed -n -e 's;^---> Package \(.*\) .* set to be [a-z][a-z]*$;\1;p' \
/tmp/LIST); do
yum -y upgrade $i
done
But this (as the scripts on the page) f.ex. today upgraded cpp (which pulls
in a lot of gcc-related stuff), and then tries to upgrade those too, one by
one. Ideally, after installing something it should cut down the list of
stuff to install, and if something can't be upgraded don't try the stuff
depending on it.
