Don't use the "Add/Remove Packages" tool (system-config-packages); it gets broken after you've done the updates. Better to use yum instead.
Hmmm. Any details on the system-config-packages problems? It's always worked just fine for me...
After installing updates, it gets confused by dependencies because the updated packages are not the ones it expects to be there to satisfy dependencies for the to-be-installed packages.

A new program called "pup" is supposed to be replacing system-config-packages in FC4. It's a proper GUI for yum.
