Thanks!

By simply executing 'yum downgrade empathy' I get a dependency resolution error:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Instead, by adding the "--skip-broken" flag, the empathy app is
completely removed from my system :(
