The --skip-broken option works fine too, you just have to look at
more gibberish on your screen.

That's actually quite a step forward. All that ever used to happen
with --skip-broken was getting yum in a near infinite loop spewing
messages for hours till it finally said "Can't resolve dependency
problems". But it is much better these days. In fact it is so much
better, I have no idea why it isn't always on by default.
