For about a week a biug stack of updates have been pending for CENTOS  
but I can't install them. The yum update command leads to dependency  
resolution in the usual way but it always ends in this:

---> Package poppler-utils.i386 0:0.5.4-4.4.el5_4.11 set to be updated
---> Package xorg-x11-drv-qxl.i386 0:0.0.12-1.2.el5 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos for package:  
gmime-sharp
---> Package java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386 1:1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5 set to be updated

[...and about another thirty lines with some intended-to-be-helpful  
suggestions that don't work.]

At first I thought it might just be that the mirrors were busy with  
lotsa downloads but as time goes by this is a progressively less and  
less satisfactory situation. Does anyone else have this problem? or a  
suggestion?

TIA,

Dave
