wine users - Aug 2010 - Unable to update wine

I am running Fedora FC12 and tried to update wine.  Here is the output from yum
list wine:
Installed Packages
wine.i686                          1.1.38-1.fc12                        @updates
wine.x86_64                        1.1.38-1.fc12                        @updates
Available Packages
wine.i686                          1.2.0-1.fc12                         updates 
wine.x86_64                        1.2.0-1.fc12                         updates 

When I try to update wine, I get the following message:

Error: wine conflicts with wine-wow

The output from yum list wine-wow is 

Available Packages
wine-wow.i686                         1.2.0-1.fc12                       updates
wine-wow.x86_64                       1.2.0-1.fc12                       updates

What is wine-wow?

Can I delete it?  

Is it a replacement for wine?

How do I update wine with this installed?

Thanks, VInce Radice

'yum info package-name' is normally your friend, but this time all it
says is "Files for wine wow seperation" which means nothing to me. 

Could it be anything to do with World of Warcraft?

If nobody says otherwise, you could try removing wine-wow before
upgrading wine and reinstalling wine-wow if you decide you need it.

I tried several things trying to install wine-wow 64 bit, remove wine-wow 32
bit, update wine-wow, and various confirmations of the two packages. In
frustration, I tried to remove wine and re-install it.  That worked.  It picked
up the new version of wine-wow.  I chalk it up to a quirk in yum and the
dependencies of wine and wine-wow.

There is a slight correction to this statement.  WindowsonWindows (WOW) support
has been started on Windows64 versions, but some features you need to run a
Windows32 program may not be fully implemented.
If you run into difficulties running your favorite Windows32 bit program, first
try to install 32 bit Wine through yum (the programs should be named differently
and the files should be named differently.
If the problem affects only WOW, then a bug report should be filed, if one does
not exist, to state there is a loss of functionality between the two.
If the problem affects both WOW and Wine32 bit implementation, then a bug report
should be filed, if one does not exist to state that there is a loss of
functionality that affects both platforms.

This should be true, if you are using a 64 bit architecture.  If you attempt to
install this package on a 32 bit architecture, then only the 32 bit version will
be installed.
