Crazy conflicts

[WIld Wolverine]

Doing an update with yumex on Fedora 11 alpha, when this happened:

Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/preparetips conflicts between attempted installs of kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 and kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386
file /usr/share/config/colors/40.colors conflicts between attempted installs of kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 and kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386
file /usr/share/config/colors/Rainbow.colors conflicts between attempted installs of kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 and kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386
file /usr/share/config/colors/Royal.colors conflicts between attempted installs of kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 and kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386
file /usr/share/config/colors/Web.colors conflicts between attempted installs of kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 and kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386
file /usr/share/config/ksslcalist conflicts between attempted installs of kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 and kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386

Funny thing is I deselected all the kdelibs, but they were being installed as dependencies for other programs.

Has anybody else run into this ?
I can work around all this, just thought it was interesting.

I also ran into a conflict between kipiplugins and amarok earlier.
I don't know which I enjoy more: dll hell or dependency hell. :)

Thanks for the info, update is going well now.
I guess I need to pay more attention to what is going on with the builds, and Changelog.:)

Well update worked, but made my system unusable.
Time for reinstall.

Hmm, no it should be time for bug reporting ;)

What does rpm -q --provides kdelibs3-3.5.10-5.fc11.i386 say, and what does rpm -q --requires kdelibs-6:4.2.0-15.fc11.i586 say?
