Fedora 8 upgrade to 9 missing dependency problem

I decided it was time to bite the bullet and upgrade my workstation to 
Fedora 9 from 8.  I followed these instructions to upgrade using Yum:

   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq

However when I ran the command:

   yum upgrade

I got a very long slew of "Missing Dependency" errors (see below). 
There are so many that I can't just uninstall all of the applications 
(might as well just do a clean install).

Can anyone suggest how I can troubleshoot this and resolve the issue?  I 
have found a few people had similar issues, but saw no solution suggested.
