Created attachment 150322 [details] full output of yum update This is a RHEL 5 client upgrade install over a fully updated RHEL 4 WS installation. The dependencies appear for packages that do not appear to be slated for updating.
If you're updating from WS, you need to do Client + a Workstation Installation Number. Otherwise, you don't have the full set of packages to match to what you previously had.
