libssh2 F11 update breaks Fedora 12 DVD update

On the F12 install DVD we have libssh2-1.2-2.fc12.

A fully updated F11 will have libssh2 with a higher version. Apparently anaconda 
force updates some packages, if you update with the F12 DVD, but not the libssh2 
package, which will lead to a broken yum, because python-curl needs libcurl, 
which needs libssh2.

But the libssh2 from F11 needs libssl.so.8 which is not available anymore on the 
system (anaconda force update of openssl??). So yum does not run anymore. The 
non-technical user ends up with a broken system.

Solution?
