yum problems

[Cyber Source]

So there is a live cd with a newer Gnome and you want o upgrade the 
packages on your system to that of the cd? I don't see how that would 
resolve the dependancy issues. I have fixed dependancy issues in the 
past by doing what I recommended below, it's a pain but if you follow 
the messages your getting during the hell, it can be done.
