This is on a Cubieboard2 (Allwinner A20) running the F19 remix from

So since I am not suppose to update the kernel (so I have read) I tried:
yum update --exclude=kern*
But I see things like:
---> Package xl2tpd.armv7hl 0:1.3.6-1.fc19 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: kernel-modules-extra for package: xl2tpd-1.3.6-1.fc19.armv7hl
and the updated stops with:
Error: Package: xl2tpd-1.3.6-1.fc19.armv7hl (updates) Requires: kernel-modules-extra You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
So how do I update everything I can?
The answer is in the error message.... "yum update --exclude=kern* --skip-broken"
So 5 packages were skipped:
Skipped (dependency problems): NetworkManager-l2tp.armv7hl 0:0.9.8.6-1.fc19 ldns.armv7hl 0:1.6.16-2.fc19 libreswan.armv7hl 0:3.8-1.fc19 unbound-libs.armv7hl 0:1.4.21-1.fc19 xl2tpd.armv7hl 0:1.3.6-1.fc19
Will this be a problem?
Unlikely, have you tried to see what functionality they provide and checking if you use it? The old versions will still be there. It's not too hard to work it out for yourself.
