I just installed yum on a rh72 machine. When issuing "yum update
'python*'" I get a neverending dependecies loop. Here is what i get with
-d 4:

<...>

Updating python-devel
bestarch i386
arch = i386
Updating python
Resolving dependencies
Updating: python-devel, i386
Updating: python, i386
conflict: python tkinter 1.5.2-43.72
conflict: setting tkinter to upgrade
whee dep loop
Updating: python-devel, i386
Updating: python, i386
conflict: python tkinter 1.5.2-43.72
conflict: setting tkinter to upgrade
whee dep loop
Updating: python-devel, i386

<until the doomsday>

I get the same with yum update python, yum update python-devel, yum
update tkinter

I worked around this with yum update python python-devel tkinter, but
does this work while yum entered that loop with any other command line?
