Thanks for the suggestions but they didn't help. 

I noticed that nearly all the fc10 packages that were left around were
-devel or -debug so I just deleted them. 

There were a couple that had no dependencies so I just yum removed and
then yum installed them.

I'm still having a problem with httpd. I yum removed it and its 10
dependencies and then re-installed them all (apart from bugzilla which
I don't need) but when I try to restart the service I get this error:

# run_init service httpd restart

Line 196 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf says:

yum whatprovides file_cache_modules says no matches
