rawhide report: 20060614 changes -- YUM problem?

[Erwin Rol]

I am having problems where yum can't resolve dependencies on its own;

Here the output of a yum update with missing deps and later with those
deps manually added;

[root at xpc erwin]# yum update evolution-webcal evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-devel evince glib2 gtk2
