I just tried that and got error messages similar to the following (after 
all the upgraded packages were downloaded):

"file /usr/include/mythtv/util.h from install of 
mythtv-devel-0.20.2-169.fc6 conflicts with file from package 
libmyth-devel-0.20.1-156.3.md4"

One thing that I didn't do was stop either the frontend or backend (I'm 
doing this via an SSH connection).  This probably matters to some 
extent, but do you have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Harry
