I found that when updating a graphical install of F13 to Rawhide, there were
lots of orphan packages ( packages not available from any currently enabled
repository, you can see these with either "package-cleanup --orphans" or "yum
list extras").  You can use "yum distro-sync" (new feature in Rawhide's yum) to
synchronize the versions of all packages with those currently in rawhide.  This
might also reduce the number of broken dependencies.
