I believe this is due to a rather old yum on the buildsys. Between F-8 release 
and F-8 updates lirc was split in to lirc and lirc-libs. xine BuildRequires 
lirc-devel, which requires /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0, the old yum on the 
builder has the old behavior when multiple packages provide a missing dep, to 
install all providing packages, so in this case both lirc-0.8.2-2.fc8 (from F-8 
release) and lirc-libs-0.8.3-1.fc8 (from F-8 updates) it should of course never 
install an older lirc when a newer is available in updates (which does not 
contain the lib) but it does.

Possible work arounds:

1: Add a BuildRequires on lirc-libs hoping it gets into the transaction before 
the lirc-devel BuildRequires so that yum doesn't go looking for 
/usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 as that is already there.

2: Add a BuildRequires on lirc, so that the newest lirc becomes part of the 
transaction, this does not depend on dep resolv orderering (I hope) so is 
probably the better workaorund.
