Is that an i386 install or an x86_64 install? Were there multiple elfutils-libs and elfutils-libelf packages installed before? This is a distribution or a yum problem, not an elfutils issue.
It was an i386 install. It was an upgrade from FC5. I ended up killing the whole thing and re-installing.
This is a distribution problem or a yum problem.
Upgrades from FC5 via yum require some twiddling to remove some packages that have been split up better between fc5 and fc6
