    Very odd, root and branch, very odd indeed. I tried that first on this
    machine (an athlon about a year and a half old, I believe; I can find the
    hardware browser if anyone thinks that would help), forgetting the trouble
    was on the other. That got
                        =====
    [root@localhost root]# yum --exclude=galeon update
    Options Error: option --exclude not recognized
                    (snip)
                        =====
    Then I remembered to go to the backup machine (which, unlike this one, has
    not yet successfully been through an update, in case that matters) -- and
    it didn't get the option error, but did still get the dependency error!

    So I tried "yum update --exclude=galeon" instead, reversing the order.
    This time I got "Cannot find any package matching --exclude=galeon
    available to be updated. No actions to take."

    Now I *am* befuddled!
