Description of problem: Yum has the ability to exclude broken packages from updates since several version but to use this feature you've to add the --skip-broken parameter everytime you run "yum update" or add "skip_broken=1" to your yum.conf. It would be a good idea to add the "skip_broken=1" line by default to the yum.conf to make yum exclude broken packages from updates by default and without user interaction. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.4.3-23.fc17.noarch How reproducible: allways Actual results: yum aborts updates if one or more packages have dependency problems Expected results: yum should exclude packages with dependency problems and contiune update process and update all packages without dependency problems Additional info:
Maybe when we get a new depsolver, we can look at this again. But atm. skip-broken doesn't work well enough to enable it for everyone. There's also the fact that it's _much_ better if you are using repos. that aren't broken, instead of relying on skip-broken.
