[Yum] identical dependency loop exceeded

Fedora Core Test 3
yum-2.0.4-1

I did "yum update" and 244 packages were updated successfully.

Four hours later, after adding the new mozilla repository to the working 
yum.conf, "yum update" fails with:

----------< large snip >---------------

getting 
/var/cache/yum/mozilla-seamonkey/headers/mozilla-nss-devel-37-1.5-1.i386.hdr
mozilla-nss-devel-37-1.5- 100% |=========================| 8.6 kB    00:00
Resolving dependencies
....identical dependency loop exceeded
package epiphany needs mozilla = 37:1.4.1 (not provided)
[root at bullwinkle root]#

------< sorry about the word wrap >---------

OK, I did "rpm -e epiphany-1.0.4-2", tried "yum update" again, and I got 
Mozilla 1.5 just fine.

So, what should "....identical dependency loop exceeded" tell me?

No big deal. Just wondering,
