yum update Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 fails - wrong repositories file names infix

Hello,

I am trying to update Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 via yum, as explained in

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq

After running

yum --releasever=14 distro-sync --skip-broken

the process halts, since yum tries to download files like

http://mirrorsite.name/fedora/linux/...6_64/repodata/1eb4726de7525ceea0383f88217f7b7681b46e54b089ca2989 5481e2b0f9caa7-filelists.sqlite.bz2

but the correct name would be

http://mirrorsite.name/fedora/linux/...6_64/repodata/bf2033fe6864db60e605e32b1ec39641eed4fa6528a16e5a07 b8a9c23dcb52ef-filelists.sqlite.bz2

The file name infix (in bold) is broken. 'yum clean' and all the rest do not solve the problem.

How this one can be handled? I do not want to install the system anew and install al the software once again etc.

Thanks.

why not use Preupgrade?

I've found it to be more reliable than the yum upgrade process

I'll try preupgrade instead. It's first time yum upgrade fails, for no obvious reason and no obvious means to quickly fix the wrong hash.
