How To Force Yum To Update

 What I did today was start update manually, and waited for it to crap out. I installed something from somewhere else, that tossed a dependency wrench into the gears and halted the update, which is what has probably been happening nightly.
 
 I deleted the offending rpm and 636 packages later, I'm automagically updated and expect that as long as I don't install anything else ginked up, updates will work from now on.
