Looks like this still won't work as glib (or glibc?) also depends on  
dependencies that fall within the updated yum packages. This means  
without reverting yum back to the rawhide version, it's currently not  
possible to do an upgrade from FC6 to the current rawhide.

A newer version of yum in rawhide would probably fix this.
