No working yum. The installation is F17 only a few days old..it worked fine up til today. I was using the gui and it seemed to be hanging so I switched to a terminal.

Erased yum and the rpmfusion packages. Re-installed yum from rpm and yum update runs fine.

Error returns if I add the rpmfusion repos. Uninstall the rpmfusion repos and yum works again.

they really should have "yum clean all" remove /var/cache/yum/*/*/timedhosts as one of its steps
