I forced the transaction buy doing:

rpm -Uvh 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/hsqldb-1.8.0.4-3jpp.2.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gsf-sharp-0.8.1-1.fc6.i386.rpm

I did that on Thursday last week and have had no ill effects to date
