man yum
to work around missing deps or conflicts for when using yum update use
--exclude=package
for example
yum --exclude=libmusicbrainz* --exclude=libwnck*
--exclude=gnome-panel* --exclude=gnome-applets* --exclude=usermode*
--exclude=gok* --exclude=gnome-system-monitor update
to specify 32bit versions use packagename.arch for example
yum update cpp.i386 to update the cpp 32bit version.
There is no 'force' or 'reinstall' in yum's vocabulary. If you want to
force or reinstall something use the rpm cli tool.
