I'm seeing the same.  It appears that smbios-utils has replaced libsmbios-bin 
without any obsoletes.  The former is in the devel repo, the latter is not, the 
former is not installed on my system, the latter is.

Neither of these packages are listed as new, broken (conflicts never show up), 
or updated in the latest rawhide report.

The yum info output shows these are equivalent packages.. I hope.  I've removed 
libsmbios-bin and installed smbios-utils.
