Any package containing .fc7 should be obselete.  The Beta release notes [1] also 
contain clues.

You should: rpm -e --nodeps sysvinit; yum install upstart

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libusermodule.so from
install of libuser-python-0.56.8-1.i386 conflicts with
file from package libuser-0.56.2-1.i386
^^ is a problem with mismatched versions, use --exclude=libuser-python
