no provider for XFree86-devel dependency

Hi -

yum update to current FC is failing for me. It looks like xorg-x11-devel
no longer provides XFree86-devel, as was done in at least FC4.

I could not find any recent bug reports for this, should I open one? I'm
not sure what category, if its xorg-x11-devel or the (multiple) rpms
requiring it.

Is there a workaround? I have lots of *-devel installed in order to
build anaconda.

Tail end of "yum update" output:

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: XFree86-devel >= 4.2.99 for package: pango-devel
--> Processing Dependency: libhowl.so.0 for package: gnome-games
--> Processing Dependency: XFree86-devel for package: gtk2-devel
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: XFree86-devel >= 4.2.99 is needed by package pango-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: XFree86-devel is needed by package gtk2-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: libhowl.so.0 is needed by package gnome-games

Thanks ...
