I got:
/sbin/ldconfig  
/sbin/ldconfig  
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
libXrender.so.1  
libc.so.6  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  
libfreetype.so.6

Isn't gnome2 still unstable? I don't want to upgrade gnome if it is still 
in beta.
