I'd make sure all the 3rd party repos are disabled in their
/etc/yum.repos.d files, do an 'rpm -e ...' of any questionable packages,
then do a 'yum --enablerepo=reponame install package1 package2...' so
you can group the specific sets together from the same repo. That
doesn't guarantee it will come out right but at least it gives a hint
about what you want to happen.
