Comment 1 Martin Poole 2011-02-18 12:02:50 UTC

from man yum.conf


exclude List of packages to exclude from updates or installs. This should be a space separated list.  Shell globs using wildcards (eg. * and ?) are allowed

Comment 2 seth vidal 2011-02-18 13:47:08 UTC

please run:

rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I think you will find your system has packages installed w/o all of their dependencies resolved.

post the output here and we can help.

HI

Please check the output of rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest  in my first mail.

Comment 4 James Antill 2011-02-21 19:03:41 UTC

Yeh, and it shows that your system is already broken (yum assumes this is not so, so it's only caught by rpm). Fix those pre-existing problems and it'll work fine.
