Ah, I think I fixed it. I had previously installed Frank Cox's EL6
sane-backends* RPMs but not (as I said above, erroneously) from a
repo, I had added "exclude=*sane*" in /etc/yum.conf.
Your comment about how yum seems confused about where that package came
from joggled my (somewhat flaky) memory, so I went back and changed the
exclude to "exclude=sane-backends*" (since it was only the sane-backends
packages I got from Frank) and now the update runs to completion.
Thanks for the mental prod!
