 It had the end of the depsolving, but not enough to be sure something
else wasn't happening to cause that problem (my guess would be
something which has a newer fc8 nevra requiring the fc8 version).
 If you can't see anything else that looks wierd, upload a full "yum
-d 9 update" somewhere that should allow us to find the problem.
