Breaks yum also? (Was: Missing critical dependency, Koji)

Am I right in thinking that all yum installs are still failing because of
this?  I'm testing joyride and can't seem to install any dependencies on any
of the three xo-'s I am upgrading.  Or is this another problem?  Is there an
alternative install method?  Sorry if this is basic, but I'm stuck.

Thanks,
 Thomas
