<br><br>Something else in your update set requires the updated<br>kdebase/graphics/libs and thus they're being pulled back in. All<br>--exclude does is remove them from being looked at for updates in the<br>first pass. If something else in your update set requires newer
<br>versions of those they will be added into the transaction set.</blockquote><div><br><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">I have found numerous occasions where there is some sort of dependency
</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">issue/conflict. My approach is to then break down the update into</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">smaller chunks in an attempt to more easily diagnose the issue, or</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
install as much of the day's changes as possible before waiting for</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">the next day's rawhide turn of the crank.
</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"></div><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">So I've looked back at the steps/chunks I did last night</span>
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">(unfortunately I did use the GUI once or twice to get a package<br>or two</span><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
so those won't be listed here, but in the end, I did:</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"></div><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
yum update [a-j]* [m-z]*</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">yum update [A-Z]* amarok kdeaddons</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">and I think that either bitched about some</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
stuff and/or got everything except for the libraries</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">you are complaining about. Then I left it for this morning.</span>
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">... This morning there were another 206 packages that</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">had changed overnight. So I just did a 'yum update'</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">(forgetting about last nights discrepancies)
