Unless you do something like "rpm-Uvh xorg-x11-*.rpm chkfontpath*rpm"
the new chkfontpath won't install unless you have XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-64
or later (if I remember all the details correctly; there's some problem
like this anyway).

So if you "upgrade to /all/ of the current rawhide bits" before doing
xorg-x11, you'll also have to do at least part of XFree86*4.3.0-64
before xorg-x11, FWIW...
