OK, you message has led me to the solution ...

1. This is an x86_64 system which I had done a BASE FC4T1 everything install 
and then updated from development.

2. Some packages have both i386 (i686) and x86_64 architectures installed.

3. As development gets updated, some packages are delete which can cause bad 
dependencies ... and that is the case:

Both the i386 and x86_64 architectures for gstreamer-plugins were originally 
installed as well as both architectures of totem.  Deleting 
gstremer-plugins.i386 also deleted totem.i386 and then I could do the 
updates.

I suspected that the problem was something like this but needed your 
inspiration to point me in the right direction.
