The problem is the fc12 version is older.
Did a comparison using yumex, and found that the number of the fc11 
version is higher, and Arch is different.  Also, there are a few that are missing 
altogether.

rpm -qa | grep fc11

Was able to remvoe gst-mixer and libvolume_id with no other issues.
Removing mod_dnssd required removing gnome-user-share which is fc12,
