grub 097 is legacy grub. Is it possible that bootconf-gui doesn't support grub2 ?? Looks like it.
Tried installing it here just to get the yum errors:
Code:
Package bootconf.noarch 0:1.4-5.fc17 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: grub for package: bootconf-1.4-5.fc17.noarch
Package 1:grub-0.97-93.fc17.x86_64 is obsoleted by 1:grub2-2.0-0.38.beta6.fc17.x86_64 which is already installed
---> Package pyorbit.x86_64 0:2.24.0-10.fc17 will be installed
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
