If you look at base and extras repositories, you'll see there's no  
openmotif anymore.  Probably got replaced by lesstif?  And lesstif is  
in extras, it is not base package.  It's probably a bug in how lesstif  
was packaged (it should have caused openmotif to be removed, I guess,  
if it is replacement for it, which I haven't checked).

I'd say just remove openmotif* packages.  And install lesstif*  
packages instead.

If lesstif is replacement for openmotif, file the bug report on  
bugzilla.redhat.com under FC6 Extras for lesstif package.
