file conflicts during yum install <package>

 
Hello,

I'm a new user of yum, which has worked
well for dozens of package installs.

I need to install subversion on an x86_64
machine running fedora core 6

I issue the command

yum install subversion-devel.x86_64

and end up with error message


Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man5/ldap.conf.5.gz from install of openldap-2.3.30-2.fc6 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.3.27-4
  file /usr/share/man/man5/ldif.5.gz from install of openldap-2.3.30-2.fc6 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.3.27-4


I've reviewed several message threads:
- Install smart:  Smart choked on some other dependency problem.

error: file /usr/bin/gaim from install of pidgin-2.0.1-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package gaim-2.0.0-0.15.beta3.fc6   


- Remove the offending package:  yum remove openldap.x86_64
    suggests I remove 172 packages - do I then have to
    reinstall them all one by one???

Am I missing something about how to use yum
so that these version conflicts get resolved,
or is this a package bug of some kind?
 

Thanks for any help you can offer.
