I had a slightly different set of dependencies.  The one update hanging 
me up was xine-lib.i586.  If I updated, it tried to drag in 34 packages 
(all i586 versions).  If I tried to delete it, it wanted to remove 9 
packages, including:  kdepim.x86_64, kdepim-libs.x86_64, and
kdepimlibs-akonadi.x86_64.  So, I chose the latter.  *Then* if I try and 
re-install kdepim.x86_64, it tries to drag all of those i586 RPMs back 
in (plus the 9 I just removed)!  *WHY?*  I decided I could do without 
kdepim....
