Yes, me as well.
I uninstalled the packages that were giving me errors (a lot of them), then
did a yum update (ie. Update all). Last I reinstalled the packages I
previously removed, and then did another yum update.
I won't boor you with the dozen things I tried before that!
I first saw the problem with up2date, which was failing worse than yum.
My system "seems" stable now, and yum is my friend again.
All the best.
Keith

these dependency errors happen fairly often on my system. Most recent
update
(yum update) on my FC3 x86_64 installation yielded;

Don't really know what to do with that. Any assistance appreciated.
