Are you running rawhide? Do you have the development repositories enabled?
There is some breakage in rawhide with modular Xorg replacing the monolithic
Xorg packages. XFree86-devel is a virtual dependency; it is currently provided
by xorg-x11-devel but is going away as lots of -devel packages for individual
libraries replace it.
fedora-devel and fedora-testers list are better places to ask about issues with
Rawhide.
