You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

my repo file looks like so

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo
[rawhide]
name=Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora release
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

i've tried --skip-broken and the suggestion at the end with no luck. also tried using the baseurl repo but same error came up. will it be possible to revive?

You can try to manually solve the dependency problems. Uninstall the packages which gives you errors with yum erase ... step-by-step, then run yum update. Hopefully this will not bring too much dependencies with them...

Some of them have system wide dependencies so removing might as well mean reinstalling. What I don't understand is that yum is picking up packages as available, but when it comes to finding them, it says they are not found

edit - yum clean all seems to have done the trick
