FC5 update glitz dependency error

[Eddd]

I'm trying to update from FC4 to FC5 via yum but I'm having some dependency errors. I skipped a few unessential programs that were causing me grief (xchat, gstreamer-extras, etc) but this one I just can't skip, since glitz is used by every GTK program.

*** Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11 is needed by package glitz
*** Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL is needed by package glitz

I'm updating from the devel & devel-extra repos. How can I get round this?

Thanks in advance,

[Eddd]

Still stuck

Eddd, don't have the solution I'm afraid, but is there some reason you can't simply bork the entire process and burn the FC5T3 CD's and do a fresh install? Hopefully you've backed up your data before even trying this, since it's not recommended.

I'm also moving this thread to FC5-Dev, since more people who have been through the process will see it there.

I did the next best thing, I dropped down to runlevel 3, removed X, did a full update and then shoved everything back on

I just removed parts of X while still in the kde. I just couldn't launch any new X related program anymore for a few minutes.
