There might be multiple entries in the rpm database for some programs 
causing the conflicts with yum. You could locate the libraries causing 
the problems, then query the packages with rpm and resolve any issues 
you find for either the complaining package failures or the packages 
which provide the needed libraries.

You might also not have a core repo available that is needed for 
resolving the dependency problem. Check your repo files and make sure 
that they were not renamed with rpmnew extensions for repositories you 
might have edited at some point. I had this effect happen since I edited 
the repo files in the past.

Those are two of my ideas for possible problems. I've upgraded from FC4 
to FC5 successfully but had to upgrade programs which depended upon 
hotplug in the past before I made much progress with the yum upgrade. I 
see no mention of programs which relied on hotplug, so your problem 
might be a bit different than problems I experienced upgrading via yum.
