Thanks, I would appreciate if you sent your script. 
using the skip-broken plugin plus the --exclude option
is not working:

Transaction Summary

Install      4 Package(s)         
Update      97 Package(s)         
Remove       2 Package(s)

Is this ok [y/N]: y

Complete!
[root at localhost ~]# yum --skip-broken update
--exclude=digikam --exclude=kipi* -[root at localhost ~]#
yum --skip-broken update --exclude=digikam
--exclude=kipi* [olivares at localhost ~]$

I do not want to eliminate digikam, or yelp.  Maybe
Robert is also interested in your script.
