"No problems found" <- but it's what was expected. After all, 'openjade' is 
now installed ;)

Everything OK now.

there's nothing about this package in yum.log


By the way, I understand, that sometimes it maight happen that dependencies 
are screwed up a little. I understand that anaconda installs packages 'as 
they are', without looking on dependencies.
What I don't understand is why yum, when invoked for the first time on my 
fresh installed system with: 'yum check-update && yum upgrade', didn't say 
something like:
"hey, you've got docbook-dtds, it requires openjade, which is missing, so I'm 
going to install it". It was the first thing 'apt' has shown, when I'd 
installed it yesterday.
Yum has beeen working hapily for one month (I upgrade packages at least twice 
a week), but haven't noticed such a simple problem.
