For dist upgrades it might even be

glibc, yum, Python, ...) missing or in an endless loop.

    



there are several thousand ways that I hate "removing already installed

pkgs" as an automatic solution to a depsolving problem. That kind of

thinking for me does not fill me with confidence as I've watched that

behavior screw up far too often.
