With a simple "yum update", Yum will pull in updates which no longer
need libcairo.so.1 or libpixman.so.1. It seems, though, you may need
to remove at least libgnomedb manually, as nothing obsoletes it.
What I see is like this:

$ sudo yum update
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libpixman.so.1 is needed by package gai
Error: Missing Dependency: libcairo.so.1 is needed by package libgnomedb
Error: Missing Dependency: libpixman.so.1 is needed by package gai-temp
Error: Missing Dependency: libcairo.so.1 is needed by package gai
Error: Missing Dependency: libpixman.so.1 is needed by package liferea
Error: Missing Dependency: libcairo.so.1 is needed by package liferea
Error: Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.5(CDIO_5) is needed by package libcddb
Error: Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.5 is needed by package libcddb
Error: Missing Dependency: libcairo.so.1 is needed by package gai-temp
Error: Missing Dependency: libpixman.so.1 is needed by package libgnomedb
$ sudo rpm -e libgnomedb

gai, gai-temp, liferea, libcddb are from Fedora Extras. A rebuild of the
GAI packages is in progress right now. libcddb apparently is broken.
liferea needs a rebuild, too.
