This was an upgrade from FC3, right?  Those are FC3 packages and aren't
present in FC4 (in fact, there are no "*xemacs*" packages in FC4).
Remove them and whatever depends on them.  Here's a quick script:

# rpm -ev w3m-el-xemacs-1.4.3-2 xemacs-el-21.4.17-0.FC3 \
wl-xemacs-2.10.1-4 apel-xemacs-10.6-5 xemacs-sumo-el-20040818-2 \
xemacs-common-21.4.17-0.FC3 flim-xemacs-1.14.7-1 ddskk-xemacs-12.2.0-4 \
xemacs-nox-21.4.17-0.FC3 xemacs-21.4.17-0.FC3 xemacs-sumo-20040818-2 \
xemacs-info-21.4.17-0.FC3 xemacs-sumo-info-20040818-2 mew-xemacs-3.3-4
