[Yum] inter-dependancy hell!

Sat May 14 04:32:21 UTC 2005

I've been through the list of failed dep's at bottom and checked all 
with rpm -q --whatprovides & rpm -q.  They're all installed.  So, the 
question is, how can I sync up yum with my rpm database?...  I guess 
I'll try cleaning out everything and may be, be -t, --tolerant?...
The fruits of my labours copied below.
Regards,
Morgan.
