After I heard about the YellowDog Update Program (YUP) from someone on this
list, I went and downloaded the RPM and installed it. However, it
initially performs some sanity checks, such as making sure all installed
RPMS pass dependency checks, and will not continue if this fails.. but I've
got a few RPMS (such as glibc, which requires the kernel-headers RPMS, but
I build my own kernel from sources) that I purposely installed even though
they fail dependency checks..
.so, my question is, is there a way to bypass this check (a force option
or somesuch)? And if not, if anyone from the YD team is here, please make
this an option.
But, as a side note, I'm ecstatic that this sort of app is finally out.. I
was just about to suck down the Debian install CDs, if for nothing other
than it's automatic package updater..

Perhaps not, but did you try to install kernel-headers with the --justdb
option ?

I have thought about adding a dep-check disable switch, although, the
dependency failures would re-surface after the new list of
installed packages is put together. Another option would be to purposely
ignore dependency problems that exist on the installed system.
Unfortunately, this could cause all sorts of strange problems that I'd
rather not have to mess with. For now, I think it is best that running
systems remain dependency sane. This may mean removing the kernel-headers
require from glibc which I believe is the case with CS-1.2.
