The issues David Highley mentions (many broken dependencies) are not
due to the double Requires: typo. They are genouine yum bugs :/

The yum package at ATrpms was supposed to provide a newer yum fixing
some of these bugs, but got bugged itself with the problems Hugo
mentions.

So there is a conspiracy against yum users. Seriously yum is quite
messy these days, so unless you have a multilib system better go for
apt.
