Yum update problem

Hi,

I run yum update as a cron job every morning. Today I got this message 
from cron:

-------------------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:

Transaction Check Error:   package liboil-0.2.2-1.1.fc3.rf (which is 
newer than liboil-0.2.2-1.1.fc3.fr) is already installed
   file /usr/lib/liboiltmp1.so.0.0.0 conflicts between attempted 
installs of liboil-0.2.2-1.1.fc3.fr and liboil-0.3.0-1

-------------------------------------------

Does anybody knows what does that mean?

yum info liboil gives me 2 answers:

Name   : liboil
Arch   : i386
Version: 0.2.2
Release: 1.1.fc3.rf
Size   : 865 k
Repo   : installed

and

Name   : liboil
Arch   : i386
Version: 0.3.0
Release: 1
Size   : 102 k
Repo   : fedora-extras

So I'd think the addition of *fedora-extras* repo  to my repos 
(yesterday) may have something to do with it, but I'm too novice to know 
anything more than that. :-)

I have my repos installed in *.repo files:
$] ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
atrpms.repo         fedora.repo                  kde-redhat.repo
dag.repo            fedora-updates.repo          kde-stable.repo_old
fedora-devel.repo   fedora-updates-testing.repo  livna-stable.repo
fedora-extras.repo  freshrpms.repo

where only the /stable/ parts are enabled.

I'd really appreciate any hints here.

Thanks,
--
