how to remove packages from yum upgrade

[Ken Schutte]

After doing a fresh "everything" install of FC4, I tried a 'yum 
upgrade', and got these errors,

---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 set to be installed
--> Running transaction check
Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies
Error: Package dlm-kernel needs /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4, this is 
not available.
Error: Package cman-kernel needs /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4, this is 
not available.
Error: Package GFS-kernel needs /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4, this is 
not available.
Error: Package gnbd-kernel needs /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1653_FC4, this is 
not available.

This exact problem has been addressed here,
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-January/msg01530.html
and another long thread here,
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-October/msg03542.html

and, as it suggested, I just removed those packages - which I don't 
think I need,
# yum remove dlm-kernel cman-kernel GFS-kernel gnbd-kernel

However, the upgrade didn't seem to finish because I still have a 
2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel, and I thought it was upgrading me to 
0:2.6.14-1.1653_FC4, but stopped when these errors showed up.  If I try 
'yum upgrade' again after removing those, it eventually gets to these 
same errors. (I also tried 'yum clean all' after the 'yum remove').

Do I need more than 'yum remove' to have it completely ignore these 
packages next time I try to upgrade?

thanks,
