Did you 'clean' yum before you ran the update after you installed the Fedora 11 release package? It sounds like you did not.

Do a yum-complete-transaction and see if anything is still remaining to be installed.

Install yum-utils and search for duplicate entries and problems. package-cleanup --dupes If there are any clean them with

package-cleanup --cleandupes package-cleanup --problems will find any problems such as broken/missing dependencies and such.

Good luck.
