Re: up2date -u gives a an error in up2date.solveDependencies

I just tested this on a vanilla (stock) 7.2 system, as root, using the
RHL + updates tree on the server side, and didn't get this error
message.  Are you running the server as root or as an unpriviledged
user?  Can you send your configuration file, and a listing of the
permissions on your RPM directories (i.e. owner and mode)?
