yum update continues to fail on my system.  This is a machine that has FC2T1 
with daily updates up through a couple of days ago.  Now yum update fails.  
Here is some debug output:

Until the above dependency is fixed try:
yum --exclude=Canna* --exclude=libdv update

or address the individual packages that require the old versions of
these libs. (the packages are at fault)

To figure this out next time there is an issue, decide which package is
responsible:
rpm -qf `locate libdv.so.2`

If the file mentioned is already on your system then it is being removed
(to satisfy other new package dependencies) that you need for the
(already installed) package requiring it.  Removing the package that
requires the lib/file being removed (this can sound pretty circular
while explaining) or finding the appropriate update for it should solve
the dependency to allow update to continue (remember that rawhide may
easily break deps for packages from other repos, even if they are '1.91'
or trying to track rawhide).
