What would you prefer yum do?
If you really ask then it would be truly nice if yum would drop
such unresolvable subset from a transaction, not silently of course,
and proceed with whatever remains. It could be some twenty other,
unrelated, updates outstanding and currently one failed blocks them
all. _If_ you are doing that interactively that --exclude is an
obvious answer but even then such help would be welcome.
I have no idea how much work that would be or even if there are
cases which would make that really hard. Maybe one day...
