Try rebuilding the rpm database (this will take a minute or two):
rpm --rebuilddb
Then check that the package is installed using:
rpm -qa | grep libgnome-devel

That is a known bug and is harmless:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla...g.cgi?id=83281
It should still have rebuilt the database - try checking to see if the packages are installed.
rpm -qa | grep libgnome-devel
rpm -qa | grep fontconfig-devel |
