I've seen this before. In many cases, there is an FC3 package and a
near-duplicate FC4 package of the same name and different version
number. Either should satisfy FC4 dependencies. Try:
rpm -qa | sort > foo
then go through foo checking for such near duplicates. You should be
able to remove the FC3 versions painlessly, if tediously.
Or take the list above and check each entry manually, e.g.
rpm -qa | grep -i ipstage
In some cases, you may have to forcibly remove the fc3 package (rpm -e
--force), then install the fc4 equivalent. Since some of the
dependencies are Gnome packages, you might prefer to do this at the
console without X ("init 3").
