Update Fedora 17 error doesn't identify package.

I'm running Fedora 17 now for about 2 months. Today I ran the Software Update and there are approximately 50-75 packages to be updated. After dependencies had been resolved and the packages started downloading for approximately 15 minutes, I received this message:

"The software is not signed by a trusted provider. Do not update this package unless you are sure it is safe to do so."

"Malicious software can damage your computer or cause other harm. Are you sure you want to update this package?"

I have some idea what the message is getting at but the problem I have is it doesn't identify the package causing the message. Therefore my only course of action is to abandon the update. How do I identify the offending package??

Re: Update Fedora 17 error doesn't identify package.

Can you share a wider range of the error message?
So one can see which file causing it.

What is the output of
Code:
yum repolist

The output of "yum repolist" is:

Re: Update Fedora 17 error doesn't identify package.

Besides the plain error message, can you share some text around it?
So one could identify the kind of the error, like version, arch, gpg, or others..

Re: Update Fedora 17 error doesn't identify package.

This is using the graphical software update. The messages I gave are the only thing in the pop up window except buttons to "Force Update" or "Quit". I selected the quit option and then I get another popup window that says updates failed with an option to get details. When I select the details button it says user terminated update.

It seems that if a problem is detected in the graphical update you should be given the package name of where the problems exists.
