Yes, it's the latest device-mapper update from January. But it doesn't
provide the needed "things". Smells a bit like your RPM database might
be damaged.

$ rpm --query --provides device-mapper
libdevmapper.so.1.02
libdevmapper.so.1.02(Base)
device-mapper = 1.02.13-1.fc5

You could reinstall the package (e.g. with the old version from your
CD/DVD). For example:

$ sudo rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles
