I got the update to install.

First I looked at the missing dependencies and decided that they weren't
legit because they were all fc8 related and I am not pointed at any fc8
repositories anymore.    

I tried deleting them with "rpm -e --nodeps"  but that didn't seem to
work.

So I resorted to "yum remove kmod-ndiswrapper-2...." and "yum remove
kmod-nvidia-2..." until I had the 4 of them removed.

Then I ran the update with "yum update".

Then I ran "yum install kmod-ndiswrapper" and "yum install kmod-nvidia"

Then I rebooted, successfully.  Everything seems to work find now.

I have no idea where the fc8 files came from.  rpm couldn't find them.
I think they were in a yum database somewhere.   I tried "yum clean all"
but that didn't get rid of them either.   Removing them explicitly did,
however.

Thanks for the tips and I hope this helps someone.
