    The only thing I have in yum.conf is installonly_limit=3
. There is no reference to any installonlypkgs whatsoever.  

   So it is failing in spite of this not being an install only option - for 
what its worth I have been happily getting nvidia updates on F7 since I 
installed it many many mothns ago - this is the first one to fail.

   Aside - rpm fails with:
rpm -Uvh /var/cache/yum/livna/packages/kmod-nvidia-100.14.19-1.2.6.22.5_76.fc7.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        nvidia-kmod-common >= 100.14.19 is needed by 
kmod-nvidia-100.14.19-1.2.6.22.5_76.fc7.i686

thx for help.
