IIRC Anaconda has code to ignore third-party packages/dependencies it
does not know of during  system updates (system update is priorised
over rpm db consistency). I wonder if the single-CD spins we've been
doing for Fedora 7 do not make anaconda consider anything not in the
spin a third-party package.

That's why you should be real careful to never push updates in past
releases which are not already in fedora-devel/next release update
queue (checking upgrade paths and dependencies), especially around
release time. That way even if anaconda messes-up next yum run will
fix stuff.

Also there's been a string of reports pointing to brokeness in yum
dependency checking recently.
