The only real fix to the issue is to eliminate the loop, ie fix the

It looks like the long known problem seen in building chroots
with circular dependencies (usually manually [and improperly
added] by well meaning packagers) and un-called out script
members
Usually I solve it by running a 'rpm --nodeps --noscripts
-U *.rpm' install pass first, and then following with a 'rpm
--force -U *.rpm' phase to run the scripts, once matter needed
in %pre and %post scripts are present.
Essentially, an anaconda mediated installation is done
'--nodeps' in a transaction set ordering, is a similar
workaround
I am not aware that yum has such an option for such low level
rpm jiggery-pokery, and frankly, it is probably outside of the
scope of yum to have such options
