update

[FONTAINBLEAU]

Why is it that when you are notified of updates you cannot download them because of missing dependencies. ?
Also, I have fc10 os, but I have been notified of 1059 updates for fc12. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing these exasperating problems. ?
At present I am seriously thinking of installing Ubuntu and then hopefully these problems will disappear
If anyone has the answer to the above I would be grateful

Hi FONTAINBLEAU,

show this command output, please:

$ yum repolist all

At present I am seriously thinking of installing Ubuntu and then hopefully these problems will disappear

It isn't necessary.

I think you some how turned on the "rawhide" repo .That is the TESTING repo for the next version of fedora .In this case fedora 12.
so we will need to see the output of "yum repolist"
and this

rpm -qa | grep fc12

that will tell us if you did install any of fedora 12 on your fedora 10 box

hello

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Tried rpm -qa | grep fc12 but nothing came up.

Disable all 'rawhide*' repos - that is where the F12 stuff is coming from.

Why do you need all those '*debuginfo' and '*source' repos enabled ??? You also have all '*testing' repos enabled - you are aware that "testing" implies exactly what it means ???

Tried rpm -qa | grep fc12 but nothing came up.

Well, you have dodged a major bullet, so far.

P.S. And clear your YUM cache before attempting any further transactions:
sudo yum clean all

Have cleared all the above including the 'YUM cache'. I have attached the latest 'yum repolist all' info. Is this ok now or do I need to clear any more. I have now got rid of fc 12 updates. Many thanks to you all for your support.
Regards Fontainbleau.

[FONTAINBLEAU]

Forgot to send yum repolist all. Here it is.

You have disabled some useful ones, and left a couple dangerous ones enabled. here's a list of what should be enabled by a typical desktop user (IMHO):
adobe-linux-i386
fedora
livna
rpmfusion-free
rpmfusion-free-updates
rpmfusion-nonfree
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
updates

You are missing rpmfusion-nonfree-release RPM: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration; see "Graphical Setup via Firefox web browser", Point #2: "RPM Fusion nonfree for Fedora 10 and 11".

All *rawhide* should be enabled ONLY if you really, truly wish to test rawhide (F12) alpha/beta/RC and know the risks; strongly recommend disabled at all times.

Any *source* are almost never needed; default disabled.

Any *debuginfo* should be enabled only if you need/have debugging packages (rare); default disabled.

Any *testing* should be enabled only if you wish to test upcoming updates; default disabled.

Have carried out your suggestions. Here is the latest repolist, I am now getting my normal fc10 updates coming in and everything appears to be fine. Once again, many thanks for your assistance.

[Hlingler]

Looks good, except for one small item: livna repo is still disabled. Livna repo now contains only one package: libdvdcss (DVD encryption reader), which is rarely updated. Not a critical issue, but recommend that you keep livna enabled (just basic livna, not livna-debuginfo nor livna-source).
