The ekiga update from today has broken dependencies.

Error: Missing Dependency: opal >= 2.2.5 is needed by package ekiga
Error: Missing Dependency: libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.4 is needed by
package ekiga
Error: Missing Dependency: pwlib >= 1.10.4 is needed by package ekiga

It looks like the opal and pwlib versions it needs are in updates-testing.

Excluding ekiga with "yum --exclude=ekiga update" allows the rest of
the packages to update.  Enabling updates-testing repository with "yum
--enablerepo=updates-testing update ekiga" allows ekiga to be updated.
