up2date missing packages

[Thomas Molina]

I've read some of the previous messages about missing dependencies, and 
I've run into the same problem.  I tried one person's suggestion of yum 
--exclude=gstreamer update 

and found another group of packages which couldn't be updated.  I was 
under the impression the situation was going to be fixed at the 
repository.  I'm not going to chanse an increasing circle of dependencies.  
I was used to using mirror, a perl-based package, which merely downloaded 
new packages.  I could then do a simple rpm -Fvh.  However, I decided to 
try the up2date.  

So has someone come up with a list of packages to be excluded which will 
allow up2date to work?
