Dependency hell

Please see the list of my attempts to update my system to rawhide.
The thing that seems most incorrect is that rpm or yum do not report
correctly the packages that need to be excluded. Since there always
seems to be some dependency problem (one gets fixed but another one
stops the update) it would seem that a reliable way to determine which
packages to exclude would be very helpful and save time that can be put
to better use. thanks for any help,
