Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:4 J5]:
 > Are you sure Qt is not a legitimate dependency?  If it has a Qt backend
 then requiring Qt to build is legitimate. The biggest issue is memory
 problems and OOM.  I suggest running yum installs from runlevel 3 which
 shuts down X:

 I think Qt is a different problem from the failure to install things. Qt
 shows up via the KDE sound server "arts" (NOT needed), which gets pulled
 in from "timidity" (probably not needed). So probably another olpc-*.rpm
 is needed, though really these chains need to be broken in Fedora.

 OOM is something I often check for, though I'm not 100% sure I checked
 near enough after a yum failure. I've had many yum failures though, and
 never seen an OOM kill hit yum.
