Are you trying to update a LinuxPPC machine to CS 1.2 with yup?
This may or may not work and provide lots of fun dependency problems.

Currently there isn't a way to disable the sanity checks. You chould try
manually installating packages that yup complained about and see if you
were then able to get through the sanity checks.

Can rhlupdate do:

yup install mpg123

and download mpg123 while also downloading any dependencies that your
system needs to meet before installing mpg123, then install those
packages?
