Didn't work for me, Paul. I'll just wait the day or two, I guess.

Seems lacking that because of one missing dependancy in a non-critical
application, yum won't even update security issues.

Imagine this: JoeHacker discovers a security flaw and writes code to
exploit it. He knows that people will yum-update, so he breaks a
dependancy in a package that he maintains in yum.
