I'm guessing that you either installed a newer version of gimp yourself
using the --nodeps option to rpm or you used helix gnome's installer and
it did it for you... Am I correct?
Either way your rpm dependency tree is broken and will have to be fixed
before you can use yup again. To start off with I'm guessing you
probably don't use xmorph, so you can probably go ahead and remove it.

yup does a really thorough check of your system before trying to update
any packages to make sure it won't cause you any problems. So when it
detected that xmorph's dependency on libgimp.so.1 was missing it barfed.
Normally if you were using rpm from the command line to upgrade gimp it
wouldn't let you since it would break the xmorph dependency, but if you
use --nodeps it'll still let you upgrade. However, if you use --nodeps
you break the dependency tree.

Did you name your computer "Unix"? You might want to check your
/etc/hosts file to make sure there's a valid entry for 127.0.0.1.

Ahh, so you are using helix-code's gnome! That verifies why yup is now
broken... I'm going to be getting into contact with the helix-code
people here soon as we're thinking of using it in YDL 2.0. For now
though it looks like a problem in the latest helix gnome that you're
using, you may want to send your problems to their mailing list.

I hope I helped you out a little. :)
