 From repoclosure:

Summary of broken packages in fedora-extras-5-i386:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
	 php-eaccelerator    5.1.2_0.9.3-0.3.fc5.i386 
	 syck-php    0.55-7.fc5.i386 

And it looks like the compat-wxGTK-devel doesn't like 
compat-wxGTK2-devel. That explains about half of the issues.
