Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I dont know how to select a bogus transaction-set, and I dont understand why yum didnt just get those missing dependencies, but once youre in the situation, the benefit should be clear. Additional info:
the command is 'config exclude' and it's listed in the config command help in the shell.
