Hi,
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.
--obsoletes is not listed as an option anymore.
That said, I'm getting this when I try to do an update. yum gets to the
resolving dependencies stage and then...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 139, in ?
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 94, in main
(result, resultmsgs) = base.buildTransaction()

(rescode, restring) = self.resolveDeps()

(checkdep, missing, conflict, errormsgs) = self._processConflict
(dep)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 351, in
_processConflict
msg = '%s conflicts: %s' % (name, rpmUtils.miscutils.formatRequire
(needname, needversion, flags))
NameError: global name 'name' is not defined
Looks like something is broken.
