Yum update only works when all the packages are, in fact, numbered with
newer versions than the old ones. Also, it doesn't necessarily delete old
ones unless they are obsoleted or replaced by newer packages. Last, it's
quite a lot of packages and can take hours just to get the dependencies: I
urge you to install only a few packages at a time, such as "all the ones
that start with xorg", "all the ones that start with y", etc.
