It seems to me that the other packages that need updating should be
updated.  Problems with kdenetwork should not block the others from
being upgraded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.1.13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to keep system up to date automatically with yum with current
repo.
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  No packages are updated

Expected Results:  Those packages without issues should be updated.

Additional info:

This is a feature request but it has security implications around
keeping systems up to date.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2005-09-21 19:23:44 UTC
The right thing to do here is to keep repositories consistent, especially for
official things like updates.  yum 2.4 has the option of dropping into the shell
to resolve these by turning some stuff off if you want

Comment 4 Christopher Beland 2009-03-08 18:50:04 UTC
Just a note for posterity, at least as of Fedora 9, yum does support the --skip-broken option, which I think does what the reporter is requesting.
