Okay. I see what has happened. Congratulations, you have discovered a
bug in yum.

The problem appears to be that your GCC3 packages were out of date, so
YUM is trying simultaneously to update them to the latest gcc3 and then
to update those to gcc4. The bug in yum is that it is handling the
gcc4/gcc3 replacing logic incorrectly.


Since pretty much everything got updated in any case, the quick fix is
to just delete your current packages:

  rpm -e `rpm -q -a| egrep '(coyotos|capros)'`

and then

  yum install coyotos-i386-xenv capros-arm-xenv capros-i386-xenv ...


I will file a bug on YUM.
