You can compare with my Broken Dependencies reports sent to test-list.
Some time ago I've started creating reports that show the broken deps
for the stable dist + Updates plus the differences when adding Test
Updates, e.g.

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-September/093511.html

In the case of xulrunner and firefox, it was pushed to stable with
a separate package (nss, nspr and others) being stuck in updates-testing
due to causing broken dependencies.

You can also visit the Fedora Updates System (bodhi) web page and look
up the update tickets and their state where users often comment on broken
deps, too.

Take a look at the  yum-complete-transaction  command as well as the
package-cleanup --cleandupes  command from yum-utils. There are more
helper features provided by package-cleanup.
