The "proper" way to install updates is to use the "freshen" flag, -F, instead of -U. What I usually do is I get all the updates I need, put them in one directory, go into the directoy and do rpm -Fvh *.rpm It will figure out what the dependencies are and install them in the correct order and everything.
