Hi,

Yum by default aborts if there is a repository inconsistency. Rawhide 
and folks using third party repositories often runs into such issues and 
users have to fall back into using yum on the command line to get rest 
of the packages updated.  gpk-application does not make it easy to skip 
the packages and they have to unselected one by one. Does it make sense 
for PackageKit to call yum with skip broken option and just list the 
skipped packages like yum does but on the graphical interface?

Rahul
