Is there no way out of getting all these extra packages?

Maybe you could use 'exclude=ecryptfs*' (or whatever is causing ecryptfs* to be included in the update) in /etc/yum.conf then run your update.  Once the issue is resolved, don't forget to remove the exclude line for future updates???

Just a thought.
