 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

*I thought that installing rgdal with dependencies would try to install the
gdal, but it seems that doesn't work like that... *
