Need workaround for yum update problem



Hello all,

I hope everyone is doing well. I have a problem. I am using the "updates-testing" repo. A number of packages in there are ones I find useful. But, over the last few weeks, when I do a yum -y update, it fails with:

Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package nfs-utils-lib.i386 0:1.0.8-4.FC5 set to be updated
---> Package libgssapi.i386 0:0.9-1.FC5 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 for package: nfs-utils
--> Processing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 for package: nfs-utils
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils
Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils

I tried to do a "yum install libgssapi", but that doesn't work (already installed). If I try to exclude packages, I believe yum will only let me do one. So, if I tell it to ignore nfs-utils lib, then it still fails because it couldn't find libgssapi. If I try to exclude libgssapi, nfs-utils croaks, of course. So...what to do?
