But some how it don't work in this case. 3. the installed kde-l10n-4.6.0-3.fc15.1.noarch conflicts with kdepim > 6:4.5.90 & kdepim-runtime > 4.5.90 1 & 2 can we hopeful do something about 3. Is some kind of KDE packaging issue. I will try to make test-case to re-produce the issue in a controlled way, so we can make skip-broken work better in cases like this
Ok, look like I found out why the looping is happening and I have sent an proposed patch to upstream review. http://lists.baseurl.org/pipermail/yum-devel/2011-March/008026.html
