and a very dangerous

*never* type "--nodeps" at all as long you are not 100%
sure what you are doing at the moment

and not for anything else if you are not firm how to recover
your system if there was a cross-dependency killing nss or
similar mandatory libraries resulting in rpm, yum, sshd are
dead and you are done until restore the library files per hand

been there with "rpm -e --nodeps nss-softokn" years ago to
solve a different dependency problem

ouch - why not "yum remove \*.i686" instead bypass yum?
been there, done that often before "exclude=*.i686"
