i have a certain production www and email server
when i yum update
[root@tst ~]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

i get this and it dies of course...
now, i have an decent idea of one way to approach dealing with this yet i wanted to seek the wisdom on the list so that i do not hose the machine "unnecessarily"
what does the error mean or tell you experts and....
thanks in advance for advise, different approaches, and pointers!
