[Yum] conflict between ghostscript and foomatic

That's close to what I saw.

I had:

1. yum install some packages without removing the appropriate old package.

2. yum successfully downloaded but did not install some other packages.

I have had some intermittent internet weirdness during yum updates. But, 
I _think_ I was always able to ^C out of yum and wait until later. I 
couldn't say for sure if that includes my one bad run.

I'm pretty sure that yum update was run from the local console. Probably 
via "su -" to get a root window in KDE.

I do take the warning about using ssh root at hostname when I can avoid it 
and will reserve that for my local net.
