rpm-4.4.2-48.el5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.5 (Tikanga)

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum update --skip-broken

Actual results:
Downloading Packages:
Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
openssl is needed by (installed) openssl-devel
Complete!

Expected results: All packages updated

Additional info: I have been running yum update and have gotten all kinds of dependency issues; Then I run the --skip-broken and get the above

[Florian (florian-redhat-bugs)]

Looks like yum tries to fix the situation but misses a dependency. Removing openssl-devel by hand should solve the problem present on the system. AFAIK there have been some improvements on the --skipbroken code, so it is likely that this exact problem does no longer exist.
