we can do it in compare providers or we can just do it in yum-builddep. this is useful b/c skipping over a better pkg in compare_providers b/c it has a conflicts may be the wrong thing to do rather than to add it w/the conflicts and let the conflict-handler update the conflicting pkg. we can just do an exclude-loop inside yum-builddep. yum and related packages are no longer actively developed. They are being replaced with dnf, dnf-utils, etc. I'm closing this bug because it's most likely never going to be fixed. If you still consider your bug report important, reopen it, please. yum and related packages are no longer actively developed.
