The problem was jpackage. I've since removed it and all is OK again.

Note though I've been using all these repos for some time, and this is really 
the first problem I've had in some time. I have priorities set to give 
the 'standard' Fedora repos priority over the external. In practise this 
means I only have 1 or 2 packages from repos like freshrpms and jpackage. 
99.9% of stuff comes from fedora. The macromedia repo contains in total only 
a couple packages anyway.

( also note that livna and kde-redhat have *always* been 100% compatible with 
the standard fedora repos ).

cheers Chris
