Actually, I had just gotten a home made machine for my classroom, installed Fedora 10 and ran yum update -y, and I encountered the error. Sorry for then noise.  Thank you Michael for your post, I let the machine update all the other packages. Then came back and applied the updates again and did not encounter the problem again :)
