That is just as painfull, cause you have to exclude _all_ packages that
use the new dbus. Just excluding the ones that use the old dbus won't
work, since they are already installed. 

so instead on picking the packages one by one that you want to install,
you suggest that i pick the packages one by one that can't be installed.
One way or another i still have to painfully figure out which packages
can and which packages can't be installed, and yum has all this info, it
just doesn't use it.
