That's the problem with running Fedora pre-releases. If you don't 
remember to disable the updates-testing repo, you get untested packages. 
The latest version of cyrus-sasl that is in the stable repo is 
cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.23-36.fc18.x86_64. The reason you can't get the 
debuginfo packages for cyrus-sasl is because the update was yanked from 
the testing repo due to *drumroll* segfaults.

I strongly recommend that you do the following:
'yum clean all' (Purges your yum cache completely, so we don't get stale 
data)
'yum update fedora-release' (The latest version that is now in stable 
disables updates-testing)
'yum distro-sync' (This upgrades and downgrades all packages so that 
they match what is in the enabled repositories, in this case it will 
guarantee that you have the latest stable versions of all packages).

Alternately you can wait until next week (January 8th) when Fedora 18 
stable is expected to be released (assuming that tomorrow's Go/No-Go 
meeting does not delay it for another week) and install fresh from there.
