The Ghost in the Machine: "conflicts filesystem"

[fedoraproject@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Since updating from Core 16 to Core 17, I've been getting some yum  
dependency failures, with the diagnostic

"Processing Conflict: [package name] conflicts filesystem < 3"

or

"Processing Conflict: [package name] conflicts filesystem < 3-2"

Apparently, this is supposed to occur when one attempts to install a  
package that needs the new files system on a system using the old file  
system.

But my file system appears to have been successfully updated.  /bin,  
/lib, and /sbin are aliases for appropriate subdirectories of /usr.   
If I again try to update the filesystem, dmesg reports that it was  
already updated.

So at what is yum looking that tells it that the file system is not  
updated, and how do I fix that?
