<x-flowed> Lance, For updates, you should use -U, not --force. -U is for updates. Then any issues should be resolved.

So now up2date runs, but when I first tried to update all available packages I got an error message involving the oscar modules as follows:
...package dependency problem
Unresolvable chain of dependencies
env-switcher 1.0.4-1oscar requires modules
... (a few other oscar modules) requires modules
pvm-modules-3.4.4+6-2 requires modules >=3.1
After installing the new modules with up2date in groups of 20, I tracked this error message solely to the
modutils package.
Oscar comes with modules-3.1.6-8oscar which is compatible with
the original redhat 7.2 distribution of modutils-2.4-6-4
but not the upgrade.
so now, I just eliminate the modutils package from the upgrade list when running up2date.
cheers,
Lance
