Problem in today's update

In today's updates I hit two problems. The first was the package 
'xcb-util' had some dependency problems with vlc,

> vlc-core-1.0.0-0.11rc3.fc11.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems
>   --> Missing Dependency: libxcb-keysyms.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package vlc-core-1.0.0-0.11rc3.fc11.x86_64 (installed)

This was easily overcome (for now) by --skip-broken however the second 
problem is a bit puzzling, a library from gstreamer-plugins-base in 
today's update conflicts with a library of the same name from 
gstreamer-plugins-bad.

> Transaction Check Error:
>   file /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstselector.so from install of gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.23-3.fc11.x86_64 conflicts with file from package gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.12-2.fc11.x86_64

A simple repoquery shows me this,

> $repoquery -f /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstselector.so
> gstreamer-plugins-bad-0:0.10.12-1.fc11.1.x86_64
> gstreamer-plugins-base-0:0.10.23-3.fc11.x86_64
> gstreamer-plugins-bad-0:0.10.11-4.fc11.x86_64
> gstreamer-plugins-bad-0:0.10.12-2.fc11.x86_64

What is a "bad" library doing in base?
