I *think* these are false positives or possibly a yum corner-case dependency issue.

Is it perhaps because of prepending "0:" epoch before the hashes?

At least I am not able to reproduce: all the packages install fine for me.

Doh, ok I finally get that this is a multilib issue!

Basically ghc is not multilib in Fedora but because of
the way we compose trees the presence of ghc-*-devel packages
induces both archs to be installed on x86_64.
However the ghc-*-prof packages (which are now being merged into
and obsoleted by newer ghc-*-devel) are not multilib,
and hence this new problem.

We should really just get rid of ghc-*.i686 from x86_64 trees, IMO,
or failing that force repoclosure by including both archs of ghc-*-prof too.
(Note that F16 no longer has any ghc-*-prof packages.)
