I'm not familiar with the rpmfusion repos, what are they?

The only fc11 package is:

# rpm -qa | grep fc11
mod_dnssd-0.6-2.fc11.x86_64

Trying to remove it fails,

# rpm -e mod_dnssd
error: Failed dependencies:
        mod_dnssd is needed by (installed) gnome-user-share-2.30.0-7.fc14.x86_64

That dependency makes no sense to me. Why would gnome depend
on an Apache module?
