[Yum] out of space in /var

Actually...this is sort of a curiosity for me...a problem I'd like to
see go away.

In my maintenance of a Red Hat based distribution I basically have to
integrate updates into the tree so that you can install a fully updated
system.  One reason is that it doesn't take long to get more errata than
I have space in /var/cache.  (/var/cache is its own, small partition for
OpenAFS evilness.)

Anyway, I guess the problem comes down to splitting the transaction set
into smaller sets...which appears to be really, really hard.
