This is why we don't support selective upgrades from Rawhide.

What happens here should be clear from the yum output:

kdeedu
1. kdeedu requires boost.
2. kdeedu in Rawhide is built against the version of boost in Rawhide, which is 
not ABI-compatible with the version in F9, so boost has to be upgraded.

3. boost requires icu.
4. boost in Rawhide is built against the version of icu in Rawhide, which is 
not ABI-compatible with the version in F9, so icu has to be upgraded.

5. But openoffice.org also requires icu.
6. openoffice in F9 is built against the version of icu in F9, which is not 
ABI-compatible with the version in Rawhide, so to be able to upgrade icu, 
openoffice.org also has to be upgraded.
And that's the fatal dependency chain which drags in OO.o from Rawhide (which 
is OO.o 3, which is not ready for production use yet, so I really don't 
recommend to confirm this transaction). Note that kdeedu doesn't require OO.o, 
but they both require a common library (icu), so you can't upgrade one without 
the other.

This is exactly why you should NEVER use --enablerepo=rawhide. KDE 4.1 beta 
packages (currently 4.0.82) built for F9 are available from the kde-redhat 
unstable repository.
