Comment (by tbzatek):

 So, gvfs requires gnome-disk-utility-devel, which requires libnotify-
 devel.
 libnotify requires desktop-notification-daemon.
 desktop-notification-daemon is a virtual package provided by notification-
 daemon and
 xfce4-notifyd.

 xfce4-notifyd provides "Conflicts: notification-daemon", but notification-
 daemon doesn't provide "Conflicts: xfce4-notifyd" yet as it's a new
 package.

 Now, when yum builds dependency tree, it searches for desktop-
 notification-daemon and pulls in both possibilities, resulting in a
 conflict. Adding explicit "BuildRequires: notification-daemon" to gvfs
 solves the issue and package builds correctly. And since it's just a
 BuildRequire, it doesn't hurt for the moment.

 Question for yum masters: Does it make sense? Would adding "Conflicts:
 xfce4-notifyd" to notification-daemon solve the issue?
