~]$

ran a web search, which produced 'about 408 results'. skimmed thru them
looking for a favorable url, which was;

  forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=308521

which led to these 2;

  ~]$ sudo yum clean dbcache
  ~]$ sudo yum history new

system is now updateing without errors.

hope this is help to anyone who man have problem.
