yumex you have to start it, wait for it to come up, pick select, tell it it
ok, wait for it to finish, tell it to close.....lost of hand holding. On the
other hand, with a yum command line (shell script), you click one command and
walk away.</FONT></SPAN></LI>

out and says there is a problem with x dependency in y package. When you
review he list, none of the updatable packages contain anything obvious to
clue you in to which package to exclude. I had one happen that way the other
night. I had to end up opening yumex, selecting five packages, telling it to
apply them. If they ran...great...if not figure out which of those five were
causing the problem.</FONT></SPAN></LI></OL>
