[Yum] yum dep handling problem

[Dan Burcaw]

Hi Seth,

I'm trying to upgrade a YDL 2.3 box (RH 7.2 ish)
to a YDL 3.0 beta box (RH 8) and I see the following yum problems:

package perl needs rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 (not provided)


Now what is weird is newer version of the packages on the left side
of all these lines are available!  And also, librpm404 provides the
libary presumably needed.  Know what gives?

Thanks,
