Dunno, but the kde*-extras packages want older versions of their related
RPMs. Note, for example:
Package kdenetwork.i386 7:3.5.8-1.fc6 set to be updated
But later in the display:
kdenetwork = 7:3.5.7-1.fc6 is needed by package kdenetwork-extras
So kdenetwork-extras wants kdenetwork 3.5.7-1, but you're set to update
to kdenetwork 3.5.8-1. This sounds like the -extras stuff themselves
hasn't been updated or their dependencies haven't been.
