A few observations in the following lines:

> Error: Missing Dependency: libmad.so.0 is needed by package arts

This cannot be Core's arts package, since libmad is an mp3 decoder
library.

> Error: Missing Dependency: libsamplerate.so.0 is needed by package
> kdemultimedia

This cannot be Core's kdemultimedia package, since libsamplerate is only
in Extras (or a 3rd party repo).

This cannot be Core's kdegraphics package, since LittleCMS is only in
Extras (or a 3rd party repo).

> Error: Missing Dependency: libgnokii.so.2 is needed by package kdepim

This cannot be Core's kdepim package, since gnokii is not even in
Extras. I know rpm.livna.org provides it, for instance, but they don't
upgrade/replace kdepim.

This cannot be Core's kdepim package, since pinentry is only in Extras (or
a 3rd party repo).

> Error: Missing Dependency: libtag.so.1 is needed by package k3b

This cannot be Core's k3b package, since taglib is only in Extras
(or a 3rd party repo).

In addition to above comment on kdepim, this cannot be Core's kdepim
package because GPGME is only in Extras (or a 3rd party repo).

This cannot be Core's ImageMagick package, because neither LitteCMS
nor jasper are in Core.

XINE is not in Core or Extras either, so this is not Core's
kdemultimedia, but a modified one.

Libtunepimp is neither in Core nor Extras, in particular since
it wants to link against an mp3 decoder.

Maybe.  Maybe you need to add another sub-repository for common
components.

Find out who's the culprit. Then report the problem in the right
place.   It's not a problem due to Core or Extras.
