For the last month, yum has been failing to update with an error message: "Error: Missing Dependency: libSDL_gfx.so.13 is needed by package perl-SDL"
This last time I tried a recommendation for a similar problem posted on the Red Hat forums. It did not work. How can I resolve this problem?

This can mean that one of your enabled repositories tries to upgrade SDL_gfx to a different SONAME, which breaks the dependency in perl-SDL.
What repositories do you have enabled? What are the installed versions of perl-SDL and SDL_gfx?
In Fedora Extras Development I see
SDL_gfx-2.0.13-7.fc6 perl-SDL-2.1.3-3.fc6
which are compatible (and SDL_gfx provides libSDL_gfx.so.13 e.g.). The broken deps report for Fedora Extras doesn't list your problem either: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2007-January/msg00480.htm...
