yum and --skip-broken in rawhide

Hi,
	I have one machine where rawhide is installed. Due to the typical begin of a 
development cycle there are broken dependencies. So far so good. :-)

	The usual remedy is to use "yum update --skip-broken" but sometimes it fails. 
This has been reported on this list before. I noticed though that using:

# yum shell --skip-broken
> update
> ts solve
# here it fails
> ts reset
> update
> run
# here it succeeds

I would not expect to have any difference between the first and the second run 
but this happens.

Next time that this happens what is the debug output useful to find the 
problem?
