tell yum to ignore a single dependency

Question

I'm trying to install winswitch on CentOs 6. It requires 'nxagent'. But in centos, the package name is 'nx'. Is there a way to tell yum to skip checking the 'nxagent' dependency (i installed 'nx' already)? Specifying --skip-broken skips the whole thing

Answer 1

Generally yum dont have option to ignore single package from dep. Option --skip-broken ignore all unresolved dependences. You can try "yum --exclude=packagename" but it exclude a specific package by name or glob from updates on all repositories not from deps.
