It seems to me that something went haywire with a dependency
resolution and not really in yum but somewhere in rpm libraries.
An attempt to use directly 'rpm -Fvh ...' with a bunch of packages
from the current updates ends up with:
error: Failed dependencies:
linc >= 0.1.6 is needed by (installed) pyorbit-2.0.0-3.1
linc = 1.0.3 is needed by (installed) linc-devel-1.0.3-6
while 'rpm -q linc' responds with 'linc-1.0.3-6' and
'rpm -q linc-devel' with 'linc-devel-1.0.3-6'. This appears to trip
yum.
It seems that the real culprit is ORBit2, though, but why it
triggers this problem is far from clear to me. Still, when other
packages are updated then ORBit2, and ORBit2-devel, can be updated as
well but only then.
This is probably a bugzilla material but against what?

So I guess we should wait it out? But how can we upgrade when yum is
trashed?
