There is something not kosher with your system as in August 2005
there was an FC3 update of various things KDE and this included
kdelibs-3.4.2-0.fc3.2;  on x86_64 too.

Don't do that.  Quite likely something will break.  I guess that
you should first run all available updates from "pre-legacy" servers
and only after that apply what was provided later.  There is an
assumption here that all earlier updates were already applied.
