Remove the troublesome packages (and if needed reinstall afterwards).

Also that error message says something about rawhide, make sure no rawhide repositories remain in your yum configuration

One way to quickly test is to run:

yum repolist enabled

and look for any rawhide ones in the list

can't find any old repo...

and in this directory i couldn't find in either *rawhide* file any "15" indicating a old repository remaining.

Greets to all!

Ps. Tried at first to remove 'kmod' - but those depencies would erase me 1.2gb of data... the selection on the 'purge' command with the full package-name got it at least! thanks to all!
