Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
firefox-29.0-5.fc21.i686 from rawhide
mozldap-6.0.5-11.fc20.i686 from rawhide
svrcore-4.0.4-10.fc20.i686 from rawhide
thunderbird-24.5.0-1.fc21.i686 from rawhide
xulrunner-29.0-1.fc21.i686 from rawhide
Whether this sheds new light on the matter, maestro?
Well, two of the packages (mozldap and svrcore) are not updates, but new
in the dependency-chain. It sounds plausible that Yum skips them, if a problem
with the updates is found. No need to add new packages for updates that
cannot be installed. And xulrunner is another provider of libxul.so*, but not
the one the thunderbird update wants. And there is some dependency between the
two packages, too:
# repoquery --enablerepo=rawhide --whatrequires xulrunner|grep ^th
thunderbird-0:24.5.0-1.fc21.x86_64
# repoquery --exactdeps --enablerepo=rawhide --whatrequires xulrunner|grep ^th
#
It could get more difficult for Yum --skip-broken to decide how independent
individual packages in the update transactions really are inspite of providing
the same things, such as various libxul.so*.
