skip_broken=1

is a better work-around. Though, in both cases you still need to be
careful on x86_64 and watch out for any multiarch packages that may be
pulled in. Broken deps on x86_64 are really bad.

Mmmh... I just realized I have multiple versions of gnome-panel-libs:

~ yum list gnome-panel-libs\*
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
gnome-panel-libs.i686                    2.30.0-1.fc13                  @fedora 
gnome-panel-libs.x86_64                  2.30.0-3.fc13                  @updates
Available Packages
gnome-panel-libs.i686                    2.30.0-3.fc13                  updates 

I have used --skip-broken at least once today. yum history shows me that lots of i686 packages were pulled in by last update, among them gnome-panel-libs.i686:

~ yum history info 67
...
    Dep-Install  freetype-freeworld-2.3.11-2.fc13.i686
    Dep-Install  gamin-0.1.10-7.fc13.i686
    Dep-Install  glib2-2.24.1-1.fc13.i686
    Dep-Install  glibc-2.12-2.i686
    Dep-Install  gnome-panel-libs-2.30.0-1.fc13.i686
...

Damn it =/ I'll try to undo this update. Thks for your warning.
