The newest version of the popular RPM package manager is now out with improved performance and functionality. But there's a bit of a catch with RPM version 5.0. Linux vendor Red Hat officially considers RPM 5.0 a project fork. "RPM5 is a fork of RPM, and is not related to RPM.org," Daniel Riek, Product Manager Red Hat Enterprise Linux told InternetNews.com. "Neither Red Hat or Fedora are involved in RPM5, and have no current plans to use it. Red Hat remains committed to the main RPM.org releases and development."

This is a known problem.
Option A: Stop the update process - but risk blocking -other- security updates.
Option B: Drop broken updates - but risk having silent security risks.
... In my view, there's option C:
Stop when encountering broken updates, notify the user, and let the user decide if it wants to continue (while dropping the updates) or not.
