F9: cups fc8 pkg dependency gumming the works

Hi all,

The ghost of F8 lingers on in my F9 box, updated via the preview DVD awhile
back. yum keeps choking on an unmet dependency:

$ sudo yum -y update
[...]
Error: Missing Dependency: libldap-2.3.so.0 is needed by package
1:cups-1.3.7-2.fc8.i386 (updates)

I've tried removing cups with rpm --nodeps, deleting and rebuilding
/var/lib/rpm/__db*, all to no avail.

According to rpm, cups is no longer on my system:

# rpm -qa | grep cups
libgnomecups-0.2.3-3.fc9.i386
cupsddk-drivers-1.2.3-4.fc9.i386
hal-cups-utils-0.6.16-3.fc9.i386

yet the yum error persists. 

Suggestions anyone?
