Description of problem: yum gives the following error, which is a huge problem, as it blocks every other package from being updated, as it can't resolve the problem of its own. ~# yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

you're updating against a rawhide/development mirror where the tk/tcl bindings are broken. They were broken for quite some time in rawhide.
Are there anything I can do to workaround it, so I can continue to use use/test fc7?
yum --exclude=tk\* --exclude=tcl\* update
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.
