Since I don't need it (AFAIK), I just removed the package and that solved (or at least worked around) the problem. But it still doesn't make sense. A new version of a package sometimes has a few new dependencies, but 43 is a bit much.
how many of the 43 were cross-architecture ?
None, they are all devel packages. Actually, now that I take a closer look, the main dependencies are:
freetype-devel startup-notification-devel pango-devel libgnome-devel libXt-devel gtk2-devel libjpeg-devel libgnomeui-devel libIDL-devel libXrender-devel gnome-vfs2-devel alsa-lib-devel libnotify-devel
Then these start pulling in their own dependencies and I wind up with a list of 43 new packages being installed for dependencies. I just find this really strange since none of these were required for the previous version.
