hmm, what if instead of exiting, yum would ask: "do you wanna continue with the broken deps packages excluded?" or similar?


2007/10/18, Arch Willingham <  <mailto:arch at tuparks.com> arch at tuparks.com>: 

I fire off yum update almost every morning when I get in. With the test packages, every once in a while there are dependency issues (the one from this morning is shown below). I normally just ignore them and re-rum yum update with an exclusion about the offending package. Rarely do 24 hours go by before y'all fix it. 

With that said, in light of this being a test release, what is the recommended way of dealing with the dependency errors: post them on this list, post a bug or keep "your yapper shut, we know it's broken, we are fixing it? Be patient!!!".
