That provides less information than interactive investigation of the core

The problem is that those files have dependencies on other files from Fedora
repository and when I give yum access to the Fedora repository yum installs
newer files than those I requested.

[rhbz#771841] seems to address the issue described above, great.

I will try to use 'yum upgrade-to' if it solves the problem for me.

Maybe it could be added to yum-utils.
