Making another attempt to explain my problem...

After the F11 -> F12 preupgrade process, I have an orphaned ALSA lib 
package...

# package-cleanup --orphans
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit
alsa-lib-1.0.22-3.fc11.x86_64

When I try to update...

# yum update alsa-lib
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

When I try to install...

# yum install alsa-lib
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package matching alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc12.x86_64 already installed. 
Checking for update.
Nothing to do

If I try to remove the version that was reported as installed...

# yum erase alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc12.x86_64
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Remove Process
No Match for argument: alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc12.x86_64
Package(s) alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc12.x86_64 available, but not installed.
No Packages marked for removal

If I try to remove alsa-lib (the old F11 version) over 100 other 
packages will be removed due to dependencies.

How can I upgrade alsa-lib to the Fedora 12 version without having to 
remember the other > 100 packages I would have to reinstall?
