hi, maybe post your yum configuration file and repository configurations to the list. you are completely sure that this is a fedora 6 machine? i would only imagine these kinds of problems when upgrading to far distance versions of packages, like fedora 6 trying to use a 7 repository for updates or so. have there been any unusual configurations to yum, or the like?
