yum - lack of features

[Dan Track <dan track gmail com>]

Hi

Can anyone tell me why yum lacks the following ( or maybe it me):

1) Can't force a reinstall of package
2) Can't force a package to install if there are some minor dependencies
3) Can't fetch a package

number 1 and 3 are my most important issues.

Anyone got any ideas why that is?

Thanks
Dan
