Still having up2date problems (and yum too)

I am having problems trying to update the packages on my FC2 x86_64
system with either yum or up2date.

[Up2date section]

I resolved the header message by following the advice given on this list
and deleting the header and rpm files from /var/spool/up2date.  Now when
I run up2date -u, the following output is produced (see bottom of
message for yum info):

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory
########################################
RPM package conflict error.  The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy

xorg-x11-libs                           6.7.0          5
xorg-x11-libs                           6.7.0          5

package xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-5 is already installed

[Yum Section]

Not wanting to be closed minded, I tried yum. Output is:
[root at Linux64 law]# yum update

BUT.....  

[root at Linux64 law]# rpm -q mozilla
mozilla-1.6-8
mozilla-1.4.1-18
[root at Linux64 law]# rpm -q mozilla-nspr-devel
mozilla-nspr-devel-1.6-8
[root at Linux64 law]# rpm -q mozilla-nss-devel
mozilla-nss-devel-1.6-8
[root at Linux64 law]# 

So those packages are there.. but yum doesnt seem them.  My
/etc/yum.conf file is:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1

#[development]

Any suggestions for resolving either the yum or up2date problems?

Many thanks,
Law
