I did a search on the error message and found http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/19/14/
which explains the reason for the error as:
Author's Comment: The library versioning
was changed in version 2.0.14. The original versioning used .so.13.0.0
which was wrong. The new versioning is using .so.0.0.14 which is right.
The RPM dependency is set from the previous versioning scheme. A quick
fix would be to locate the .so file using "locate SDL_gfx | grep .so"
and making a symbolic link to the missing dependency as in "ln -s
/usr/lib/SDL_gfx.so.0.0.15 /usr/lib/SDL_gfx.so.13". A newer .15 RPM
might requires some scripts to do this automatically - I don't know how
to set this up (that's why there is no .15 RPM right now.)

I resolved the problem temporarily by removing frozen-bubble and 
perl-SDL which are the only applications on my computer requiring 
libSDL_gfx.  I then had to go to /var/lib/rpm and delete all of the db 
files and rebuild the database with rpm -vv --rebuilddb
This fixed the problem with updates.

I am hesitant to reinstall frozen-bubble until this problem is resolved.

who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the 
individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor 
such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." [Einstein]
