=====
 From memory skipbroken is now packaged with yum. Is the reason yum says 
yum is already installed when I asked for yum-skip-broken because yum 
provides skip-broken >= x one is actually a later version ?

Does this mean the actual yum-skip-broken should be removed from fedora 9 ?

How about the provides, which says only yum-skip-broken provides that 
capability ?
