What do you mean one package at a time?
It seems to me that something went haywire with a dependency resolution and not really in yum but somewhere in rpm libraries. An attempt to use directly 'rpm -Fvh ...' with a bunch of packages from the current updates ends up with:
error: Failed dependencies: linc >= 0.1.6 is needed by (installed) pyorbit-2.0.0-3.1 linc = 1.0.3 is needed by (installed) linc-devel-1.0.3-6
while 'rpm -q linc' responds with 'linc-1.0.3-6' and 'rpm -q linc-devel' with 'linc-devel-1.0.3-6'. This appears to trip yum.
It seems that the real culprit is ORBit2, though, but why it triggers this problem is far from clear to me. Still, when other packages are updated then ORBit2, and ORBit2-devel, can be updated as well but only then.
This is probably a bugzilla material but against what?
