Eric,

This is a more general dependancy problem. The packages on your system 
complaining (apt, rpm2html.Xtest, pine and imap) require a package with 
a version  that does NOT exists in YDL4 ...
You need to manually remove the packages complaining with rpm -e, and 
than proceed with the upgrade to YDL4.
After the upgrade went succesfull, youcan try to reinstall the 
complaining packages (if you need them) with "yum install <camplaining 
package>" .
If there is a version availiable in YDL4, it will install, otherwise 
you need to build the package yourself and install manually.

No, it is just a question of building RPMS with the right dependancies
