An updated c-ares package has been released, which has a new library 
name. All packages using c-ares, such as bzflag, need to be rebuilt 
against the new version. This has already been done for bzflag:

http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=12418

The new package is just awaiting signing and release to the repo and 
mirrors. Just wait a bit and the problem will go away.
