When I go to update my system, since the updates are not signed I force install, force install kills my update. Am I doing something wrong or is anyone else getting this?

You know in the Fedora Guide mentioned to be careful with --nodep, could recommend to treat --force the same way.

What does the last chunk says from /var/log/yum.log?

If it was yum, try to manually download the prior version of yum.rpm file.

Then 'yum remove yum', finally 'yum -localinstall yum.rpm'.

Sorry, I should've posted this but I forgot about this thread. There was a discrepency with the repos I had turned on. I turned two of them off that shouldn't have been on, and then I had to do a yum update and everything was fine.
