Oh, sorry, you're right.  But, I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, 
because actually now, I am not getting the errors about those packages. 
  However, some things (the 2.6.14 kernel) are still not installed.  Now 
that I look at it, it looks like it may be out of disk space.  (189MB of 
9.5GB available on /).  I guess an "all packages" install was a 
mistake... I guess I'll just re-install and choose my packages...

Thanks for the replies.
