This problem is easily fixed. Ive done it lots.
when it says there is a conflict, use rpm to manually remove the
package that is causing trouble. Use the --nodpes flag so that the
rpm system does not fight you.
rpm -e whatever-package-name --nodeps
That clears out the problem. Then you can run yum again and get the new one.
I did an rpm upgrade of FC6 and I probably had to manually hit 20 rpms that way.
It will work, just don't rely

This is an FC6 update. The F7 version doesn't have these conflicts.

This will improve when F6 gets merged and F6 updates will have to go through
Bodhi too. The #1 source of problems right now is that FE6 stuff gets pushed
(almost) immediately whereas F7 updates don't.
