It depends. I find such reports useful, since ordinary yum updates
can find things the broken deps checkers cannot discover.
The latest rawhide report clearly reports redhat-artwork as a removed
pkg and lists a few broken deps, but no those quoted above. So, if the
problem persists, it needs investigation.
