You're probably running with an old xscreensaver package that expects the
old libMesaGL style lib names. The later versions of Mesa have these
renamed to libGL and libGLU. Try:

rpm -e xscreensaver
yup install xscreensaver

Oh yeah, I should add a switch to disable the initial depedencies check.
That way, YUP would intelligently figure out that xscreensaver is out of
date and would check dependencies for the new version. Let me do that
right now. :)
