It looks like a bug in yum dependency resolver.

Summary:
For versions <= 4:5.8.8-15.fc7, perl.rpm both provided and required "libperl.so"
(or "libperl.so()(64bit)" for 64bit platforms).
Since 4:5.8.8-16.5.fc7, perl.rpm requires libperl.so, but does not provide it. 
perl-libs.rpm provides libperl.so, but does not require it.

It seems that this setup can confuse yum.  Could someone please test it?
Or review the code with respect to chnages in self-provided requires?
