Here's the chain of events that ought to cause that:

	1- you load FC4,
	2- prelink runs via cron,
	3- you run yumex or some such causing a library to be updated,
	4- you run "rpm -qVa" which reports that "one of the file's
	   dependencies" (i.e.: that library) "has changed since
	   prelinking".

Not sure what you do at this point, except to let prelink run again
via it's cron script.  Once that happens, the dependency messages from
"rpm -qVa" ought to go away.

Personally, the more I see of prelink, the more I want to turn it off.
