No, all this does not apply to Fedora until the SDL_gfx packager does
an upgrade to a newer SDL_gfx upstream release.

This is not a fix but a poor hack. The fact that you have a
SDL_gfx.so.0.0.15 proves that you have downloaded an SDL_gfx package from
a non-Fedora repository. It is an incompatible package upgrade which
breakes the dependencies.

Just revisit my reply to your original message. You sound confused.
Messing with files in /var/lib/rpm was not necessary.
