That could be :
[btth@Hbsk2 ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
So I played around with rpm and yum doing the things usually
suggested when plain "yum update" fails, till I got a plain one that
completed normally; re-did the download from updates-testing; redid fedup-
cli; got a notice to reboot and did; then tried yum update --skip-broken.
I think there had also been a yum-complete-transaction in among there.
Yum update --skip-broken got me a disiplay of lines rushing up
the screen too fast to read, which literally went on for several minutes.
It ended up with :

I assented, noting that most but not all of the lines above
contained an fc18 term. This time I got :

Cryptography key trouble, of all things! If the display ever
paused to ask whether to let it install a key, it did it so briefly I
never even suspected.
On a pure hunch, I tried "yum clean all" and "yum update" again.
That got me the eruptions of busy-ness again, ending with :

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I suppose this is progress, maybe, maybe. At least it's not the
crypto trouble recrudescing. I'll do the yum and rpm attempts yet another
time, and report.
