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
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.
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.
