Let me reduce the information in an attempt to show how to interpret above
quote:

   syncevolution.i686  from  fedora-13-x86_64

That's multiarch breakage! Fedora 13 was released with syncevolution.i686 in
the x86_64 repo, and the 1.0-3 update did not place its i686 pkg in the
x86_64 updates repo. Anyone with the old syncevolution installed as both
i686 and x86_64 would see the unresolvable dependency.

Questions: Have you changed the dependency-chain? Or has "mash" changed its
multiarch compose strategy? (same question related to F12 "perl")
