Actually the problem seems more difficult, in my case at least.
"yum update" is still looking for packages required by nfs-utils,
even though it is not looking for nfs-utils itself.
Does anyone understand this?

I should say that this doesn't worry me in the least -
I am perfectly happy to wait until nfs-utils is sorted out.
But I am puzzled as to why yum is looking for packages
required by nfs-utils, but not for nfs-utils itself.
