The secret is giving the list more detail, not just saying "can't get it 
to install xyz"...   :)

e.g. what is the output you get from
# yum install yumex

I don't recall what repo it's in offhand, but I know yumex runs just 
fine on 6.5, as long as PackageKit doesn't have the yum backend already 
occupied after you enter the root password in the dialog that prompts 
for it (I think it then retries 3 times before it exits if it can't get 
sole control of the yum backend).
