Update from New Repository Fails

Attempting to access the new the repository according to the
instructions just released in fedora-announce-list has hit a snag.  The
initial update, to yum, etc. appeared to work OK, except that some RPMs
in Livna appear to be in sync with the new Fedora Repos, and not with
the RPMs on my system -- I requested that they not be updated and
everything seems to have gone OK.

The update tool (pirut) reported 114 updates; I requested that "Update
System".  But pirut reports "Dependency resolution failed" with the
error box:
        samba-common = 3.2.0-1.rc1.15.fc9 is needed by package
        samba-winbind-3.2.0-1.rc1.15.fc9.x86_64
        yum >= 3.2.19 is needed by package yum-utils-1.1.16-1.fc9.noarch
        (updates-newkey)
Dependency resolution is still going on after about 15 minutes, so there
may be more dependency failures coming.

Under the circumstances it seems better to ask for advice than muddle my
way forward.  Any advice?
