Normally, the rawhide report 20071010 has these
errors, and today the dependency error you have posted
is not there:

For these type of errors and dependencies, Mr. David
Boles was very kind to help me resolve problems like
these.  He sent me scripts that take care of
dependencies nodep. If you want I can send you these
to update the system and forget the dependencies till
they get resolved.  

Regards,

Antonio
