Bug 604778

Description of problem:

Attempt to recover from failed transaction check (and perhaps discover what packages are impacted) using

# yum update --skip-broken

failed (as far as I can tell) in same manner as plain yum update.

Seemed to be no evidence of packages being skipped to prune the update list to one which would work. I was able to pick a few packages and update them, which indicates that some pruning was actually possible.


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

# yum provides yum
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
yum-3.2.27-4.fc13.noarch : RPM installer/updater
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:

yum-3.2.27-4.fc13.noarch : RPM installer/updater
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Other       : Provides-match: yum


How reproducible:

100% (at least until someone updates the packages involved)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update --skip-broken     # as at 16June2010 17:34 UTC
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
