To set the environment. When I run yum upgrade I get the following
dependency errors:
Error: Missing Dependency: libsepol - 1.12.27-1 is needed by package
libsepol-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so.1 is needed by
package gtkhtml
Error: Missing Dependency: libttf.so.2 is needed by package VFlib2
Error: Missing Dependency: libgailutil.so.17 is needed by package
compat-gtkhtml3
Any pointers on what to do to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
You might consider removing all these packages. They are legacy GNOME
1.x stack which is not in FC6. libsepol-devel is not used in FC6 either.

I ran into this problem with libsepol also today. I removed the db
entry using rpm --justdb --nodeps for libsepol. After removing the
database entry, I ran yum install libsepol which pulled in the glibc
libraries.
Afterwards, yum -y update took care of the rest. (of course I ran from a
terminal because the GUI is gonna get killed at some point during the
upgrade. It did, But I was at the login screen, so it did not effect me
being in runlevel 5)
Using a terminal window in the GUI will leave you with about 1000 or
so multiple entries in the database.
Removing mozilla with yum was also needed on the system which took out
yelp and a few other packages which needed mozilla previously. You can
add yelp back post upgrade without a lot of trouble.
Previously I thought of yum erase libsepol but it wanted to remove quite
a few packages. I decided to do the above instead. I did not have errors
when removing VFlib2 with rpm. It is not on FC6, so it will not
reinstall. The other two errors listed did not effect my system.
Expect for this to take some time to complete. It took me about 3 hours
on guess-timation I copied the DVD rpms over to the hard drive core
repository, downloaded the updates and testing repos to their local
repositories before upgrading. This was a one shot deal, no re-upgrading
needed.
