I believe this problem was fixed in early development of F-8:

* Fri Jun 15 2007 Adam Jackson <ajax at redhat.com> 6.0.98-4
- Remove the Requires on redhat-artwork and fedora-icon-theme, and just
  multi-own the directories.  Fixes some hilarious dependency chains.

Please check F8 Test3, or wait for the final release.

HTH,
