packages also broken too.

You're using the -testing repositories. Packages get pushed there, unpushed, downgraded,...

If, for example, libfoobar-1 is in fedora and libfoobar-2 is pushed to updates-testing, and you update to it, then it gets unpushed because it was found that it is too broken. From now on, the latest version of libfoobar in the repositories is libfoobar-1, but on your machine it is libfoobar-2.

Later on, somebody pushes an update to baz which builds against libfoobar-1, you will get this kind of broken dependency issues.

That's expected with testing repositories.

When you're running with updates-testing enabled (or Rawhide), don't use "yum update", use "yum distro-sync" instead, as that will both upgrade and downgrade the packages, so that your machine is always consistent with what is in the repositories.
