Since bash doesn't have any fancy provides try something like

for package in `repoquery --whatrequires bash`; do echo $package; repoquery -R $package|grep bash; done

to check what dependencies are pointing to bash's version. I think it
looks quite safe, but OTOH we're in a freeze with bash being an
important package, so it's better to change it for >= F12 or at the
very least as an update to 4.0.17 later in F11's maintenance timeline.
