[Leaplist] someone explain why YUM does not do as it is told?

[Kyle Gonzales]

You may be trying to exclude the wrong package,

Try this:

yum --exclude=`rpm -qf /lib/libjaspter-1.701.so.1` update

I this probably not failing because of Imagemagick, but because of a
package that Imagemagick depends on, that contains the offending
library.  I am assuming the libratry is in /lib.  The "rpm -qf"
command tells you which package a particular file comes from.
