"Inconsistent state of rpmdb" is fairly ambiguous - it can easily be
misinterpreted for internally messed up rpmdb that requires --rebuilddb.
I think it'd be better to talk explicitly about pre-existing dependency
issues to avoid that possibility for confusion.

That should probably be s/none/no/.
This is an improvement over the current situation sure, but I think it
should be possible to do better:
Yum already checks for pre-existing (rpmdb) dependency issues and dumps
out the information. So there shouldn't be a need for the user to run
'rpm -Va --nofiles', yum should be able to print out that information
just as easily. That check could also be used to determine whether the
user is encouraged to file a bug or not. Unless I'm missing something in
how the thing works, that is...
