synaptic requires libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0, which is only provided by
apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362 in Phil's configured set of repositories.  yum
decides to take that one, but then realises that a higher version of apt
is installed already and does not come from the enabled repositories.
That's not a conflict, but an inconsistent repository configuration.

Btw, yum 2.1.13 from updates-testing works for me so far.
