Mutt required the so.4 versions for two of the libs that you mentioned. 
I upgraded via ftp to rawhide and it installed the later so.5 versions.

Anyway, making a symlink from the so.5 symlink to an so.4 symlink 
allowed mutt to work.

What other programs "require" the so.4 versions that are in development?
