1. the installonlyn plugin is no longer  in the yum package in rawhide.
That feature has been moved into yum itself so the plugin isn't needed.
Yum should be preserving 2 kernels by default in the configuration in
fedora. You can set the number you want it to keep by setting
installonly_limit in yum.conf

2. not sure about the deps but something as deep as libgcc_s.so.1 seems
bad.
 When you say pirut 'failed' what did it print out?
