up2date choking on Perl:Twig

[t l]

try "yum --exclude=perl-XML-Twig update"  

That should avoid the problem.  This has already been bugzilla'ed:

I've been having problems using up2date (and Yum and Apt, for that
matter)
with the latest round of updates on Test 3.  

Today I discovered it was was choking on Perl:Twig v.3.13-4.  The
error
message is:

"unresolvable chain of dependencies - requres Perl:XML
XPath" 

I have a couple of question related to this:
1) I have everything installed from the Test 3 CDs.  Why am I running
in to a
dependency issue like this on an basic update?  I already have 3.09-3
installed.  How can I resolve it?  

More long-term:
2) In the case of this conflict, would it not be a good idea to
install
everything possible and then note which packages couldn't be
installed at the
end, rather than choking the process at the beginning?  

3) I keep getting GP Key (sp?) prompts for each package.  Is there a
way to
bypass this?

#2 and #3 speak to the fluidity of an update with up2date, being able
to leave
it do its business and not having to babysit it.  

4) very minor cosmetic point:
Why are there three periods on the bottom-left hand corner of the GUI
for
up2date?  It makes it appear like it's still unfinished, which it may
be,
given it's a beta verion of Fedora.

5) I guess the refresh issue has been well-noted?  The blanked out
screens
while retrieving info make it look as it up2date has stalled and
needs to be
re-started.
