$ rpm -q yum
yum-3.2.3-2.fc8

but watch this:
# rpm -qa 'fonts-j*'
fonts-japanese-0.20061016-8.fc8
fonts-japanese-0.20061016-9.fc8
# rpm -e fonts-japanese-0.20061016-8.fc8
error: %postun(fonts-japanese-0.20061016-8.fc8.noarch) scriptlet
failed, exit status 1

If you will try to remove with yum you will get:
....
Removed: fonts-japanese.noarch 0:0.20061016-9.fc8
Complete!

while this is really not the case.

After 'rpm -e --noscripts fonts-japanese-0.20061016-8.fc8' you can
do now 'yum update' and this does update fonts-japanese to
0.20061016-10.fc8 and installs for dependencies
sazanami-fonts-gothic and sazanami-fonts-mincho without conflicts
but again I am left with duplicate packages.  A different pair but
this does not help.  So there is a problem but not where I thought.
I will file that report.

An info that you cannot reproduce gave me the clue. Thanks!
