Description of problem: yum fails to update due to ignoring options --exclude Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.6.1-0.fc5 How reproducible: yum update Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update [07/01/2006] gives [..] ---> Package nfs-utils-lib.i386 0:1.0.8-4.FC5 set to be updated ---> Package xorg-x11-server-Xnest.i386 0:1.0.1-9.fc5.5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 for package: nfs-utils --> Processing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 for package: nfs-utils --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils 2. yum --exclude=nfs-utils* update gives [..] ---> Package gnupg.i386 0:1.4.4-2 set to be updated ---> Package xorg-x11-server-Xnest.i386 0:1.0.1-9.fc5.5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 for package: nfs-utils --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils 3. Actual results: yum fails to do unresolving dependency Expected results: yum should update all packages without the ones given with --exclude. Additional info:
You also need to --exclude=libgssapi* *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 197421 ***
See this two lines: Error: Missing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils .. needed for package nfs-utils. So, this means, if someone exclude nfs-utils, the dependency should be solved - this isnt' the case here. You write a work-around, not the bug fix.
